I do love the idea that something can make you forget that you're listening and just transport you to somewhere else in your head.

First thought, best thought. I live by that when I make my own music.

You become more animalistic when you don't know what's coming next - you have to be on guard, but at the same time you're also more receptive.

When I sit down to make music, I try to enter a flow; I always open a blank session and just make something that I feel like making.

It struck me at some point that the things I wanted to say had to be wordless. I had to renounce words in order to go deep into the practice of making materials and textures that would express what I'm trying to say more accurately.

A lot of me figuring out how to love myself more involves finding the things that I'm ashamed of and looking them right in the eye. And something I always find beautiful about Jesse's work is that he finds beauty without any calculation. People say that his work is dark, but he never sees it as such. For him it's all almost about educating people to process why they feel disgust.
