I try to have things change before I get bored, and I figure other people might enjoy that too; I try not to let anything repeat for long enough that you can get used to it.

With song titles, I try to keep a healthy sense of humor while saying something at the same time.

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.

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.

Only after a piece of music is done does my frontal cortex allow me to organize what might be trying to come out of my subconscious.

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.

I love vocal music, but I've had a hard time understanding myself through the English language. So it just seemed to me that if I relied solely on creating a voice out of the music, then I might be able to reach something more profound.
