I've always thought that Fennesz was a non-musician until i've found out that he used to play the guitar. What i admire about Jeck is that he doesn't set himself to be an innovative musician by using those dansette record players. He seems more preoccupied with making poetical music with un- traditional tools. As i've just re-watched 'Alchemists Of Sound', a special mention should also go to John Baker, who used small pieces of tape to create some of the most ahead of its time music, still relevant today. Things like that can be pulled off if there is a musical mind full of ideas, as simple as that. Regarding the noise mention: very few people master that sort of thing, but it seems like a world inhabited by way too many people with scarce ideas but willing to make themselves heard more than ever.
