"In "Devil's Music fragments of radio broadcasts are digitally sampled, looped, re-triggered and occasionally reversed or de-tuned. All material is taken from FM and AM transmissions occurring at the time of the performance. The performer plays off of certain musical ground-rules intrinsic to the sampling system (which consists of three modified inexpensive effect devices) to develop the quirky rhythmic interplay that characterizes the piece."
EM Records have recently re-released Devil's Music, as a double LP or a double CD, which contains extra tracks, video and software for performing Devil's Music yourself.
