► Matrix headquarters in Salvador, Bahia. Interview is by David Dye for broadcast on U.S. National Public Radio. Pre Brazil I "rescued" royalties for Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Led Zeppelin, Mongo Santamaria, Jim Hall, Ray Barretto, Airto Moreira, Earl Carroll of The Cadillacs, Rob Royer of Bread, Wah Wah Watson (Melvin Ragin), and others.

► The work was a variation of industrial espionage; record companies didn't play fair so neither did we. Here I work with musicians who don't earn royalties but who are no less amazing for it. The matrix is a means of leveraging a sociological/mathematical phenomenon to make them discoverable and accessible from far from their native ground. But for the system to work for them, it has to work for everybody. And every truly creative artist in it means more valid pathways to the Brazilians, and to everybody else.
