Bruce Cockburn on electronica, 2003

"I got interested in electronica because I realized at one point that a lot of what's being done in that scene involves a kind of drone continuum with short-term events happening over the top, and that's pretty much how I've always played the guitar or approached the guitar. I thought I should listen to some of that, and I've discovered a wealth of stuff I like in that world. So then I tried to take that and put it back on the guitar again."
