An interview by Frank Bangay. see also here

"Störungen", a Karl Bruckmaier and Kevin Coyne project on Synapsen 6. Station, Jul 2004 (thanks Uwe). English translation by Goodie: DISTURBANCES White noise, black tie – the aesthetics of the White Noise. A sound impertinence by Karl Bruckmaier, supported by Kevin Coyne and Wilfried Petzi. Karl Bruckmaier looked – supported by the artists Kevin Coyne and Wilfried Petzi - into a third category of noise/music  - the sound between disturbing noise and the White Noise of Nothing. The evening questioned, with the aid of music, song, photos and newly invented machines and old play-back devices, if there is a noise which could not become music. The point was the last secret: the sound that can’t be domesticated. Blues was played after the sound impertinence.

“A very uncomfortable interview”, KC went mad about the questions.
