Uwe Schmidt, aka Atom Heart, modern laptop legend and king of the pseudonym has been lost in the Chilean wilderness for the last eight years. We coaxed him out of hiding to come and talk about the science of living and breathing Latin American music, finally getting to a place where you can re-interpret Kraftwerk, the deep science of the cover version, his Japanese approach to collaboration, the rapid process of electronic music definition and the subsequent and irritating result of classification.
