The Origins of ‘Toolkits’ It started out when I wanted to do a piece of music and I was at York and I had a 24-track tape [recorder] at the BBC and I had access to certain synthesisers so I set off a metronomic beat and I would use certain sounds … I would do a track of, say, a rhythm, or a track of the sound … and so you ended up with 24 different sounds on 24 tracks at different intervals.
