Moby on the making of Resound NYC, his new 'rework' album: "It's not as simple as, 'let's take the MIDI parts from 1999 and have an orchestra play them'"

You shouldn't be surprised that Moby's new album is a classical recreation of his early recordings.Not only is it his second such dalliance, but this is also a producer who has dabbled in just about every genre, so why not classical?There were the breakout techno and ambient tracks in the early '90s, through punk and film scores, to his trademark, often gospel-laden electronica from the huge album Play onwards.
