The latest in our series of In:Depth interviewees should need no introduction. Since debuting on Dave Clarke’s label with some crunchy, abstract techno offerings in the early 90s, Cristian Vogel’s been continously keeping busy exploring everything from sound design to live improvisation to contemporary dance productions to good old wonky techno bangers.

Hitori Tori, a.k.a. Canadian Renoise veteran Julian La Brooy has been kicking up a stir lately with his impressive videos of innovative Renoise jamming. See Hitori Tori – Renoise Techniques for some examples. We decided to get in touch for a little interview that should hopefully provide some more insight into his working process.
