Suono centinaia di strumenti provenienti da tutto il mondo. Prima studio gli stili tradizionali di suonare uno strumento e poi mi diramo per trovare la mia voce. Trovare le forme nascoste di movimento e di respirazione che sono intrinseche a uno strumento è più importante per me che suonare con astrazioni e idee. La mia musica è più del corpo che della mente.
Jaron Lanier interpreta Suling, Esraj, Sampler, Khaen, Gu Zchung, Piano, Angklung e Bowed Psaletry.

Recorded December 1999 at Cello Studios, Los Angeles.
