Recordist's notes
Wasted Material ‘‘In our mind it simply still has to be useful and this is where creativity comes in. The need to create gets filled with this big pile of material with potential, if only it could be figured out what ....... The big collection of materials that ones where useful and now became useless triggers our creativity. Driven by fear of messing up the ecological system. Personally I see waste as the base where creativity can grow on.’’
