Electro-acoustic music, is essentially real sound recording, audio recordings from the outside world - anything of any description really - which I then record into a computer system and pass through some quite sophisticated algorithms. That transforms them in some quite unique ways.

It's very very different in context, because people say you can get a similar effect from quite expensive synthesisers, but the point is they always maintain a reference from the outside world that you've recorded, and they always have this lively organic feel to them, no matter how far they're [been] processed. That's the real difference.
