Morgan Geist is one half of Metro Area and the man behind the celebrated Environ imprint. Creating lush Roland symphonies and sprinkling house rhythms with strings and handclaps, his work truly bridges the gap between organic and electronic music. 

In this lecture at the 2005 Red Bull Music Academy, Geist talks about his journey from disco to techno and back again, his creative partnership with Darshan Jesrani and vintage records that are so bad he just had to release a compilation of them.
