The relationship between human and machine is an interesting idea because it really is more then just the physical input of using your hand to scratch a record.  The advances in technology have brought an infinite possibility of creating and remixing sound.  Even from program to program a song can have different characteristics.  Effects can be applied many different ways and the DJ can use all of these tools in his or her own unique way.  It’s amazing how creative the human mind can be.  This is especially true when you are dreaming.  Dreams have no boundaries and so anything can happen.  To be able to take dreams and use them to make stories and sounds.  Sounds being a form of a story is truly a skill only a great DJ can create.
The quotes taken from the interview with DJ Spooky Ad Astra and Paul Miller are a very creative concept and quite interesting because of how one person can talk about themselves in their different personas.  From the reading so far DJ Spooky comes off as being incredibly intellectual culturally hip and extremely creative.  His analogy of the idiot listener as a zombie in the thriller video is a prefect example of his thinking.  The listener is not processing or actively thinking about the sounds but rather reacting to them in movements.
Looping and the process of a loop can go far beyond listening to a track over and over.  The structure of music always has some loop where an idea or verse or composition is revisited and brings the music’s direction back to an earlier point.  Looping is also part of the process the DJ thinks when going through the process of creating music.
