Obviously, it's had a huge effect on repetitive music or dance music or house music. Ambient in the last ten years has infiltrated into all those repetitive musics. I don't know what part it plays in pop necessarily but I'm sure there's some connection. But in all the music that deals with experimental repetition, drum and bass, dub, various kinds of house music, there's always been a quality of atmosphere and ambience. I think it's infiltrated that pretty heavily.

Sound comes out of a life experience.

Nothing was a style first. Everything started as an idea. A guy did something with an idea. Someone copied him. Some copied all of them and it became trendy and then it became a style.

People who play conventional music are threatened by electronica and don't consider it to be as valuable as what they do.

Records are just moments of achievement. They're like receipts for work done. Time goes on and people keep playing music.

People are afraid of things they don't understand. They don't know how to relate. It threatens their security, their existence, their career, image.

What I'm dealing with is sound. I don't pretend to be dealing with music. I'm just dealing with sound elements, textures and sounds.
