The promo for his first couple cassettes expressed very explicit intentions
to disregard as much compositional convention/narrative interpretation as
possible.
I think the method changes from release to release, but I'm pretty sure
some of his stuff has been mostly assembled from the sounds made by
external hard drives, other stuff from code he wrote to trigger
audiofiles randomly from giant directories full of disparate recordings, or
pulling from livestreams on Twitch or online game lobby chatter.
