As preparation for the interview, I spent a lot of time over the last couple of weeks revisiting Spiegel's records, most notably The Expanding Universe , her 1980 masterpiece that blends synth experimentalism with early examples of what would eventually be called ambient music , and algorithmic composition techniques.
