Words, for me, don't have as much contextual leeway as sound.

A lot of bands are still just bands that artists ask to get involved, but a lot of artists are using sound they create. This is different from referencing music.

I actually write a lot, but mostly just daily gibberish. I am a documentation addict: "I just peed. I walked down the hallway. I dropped my pencil. I just aged a minute."

Words, for me, don't have as much contextual leeway as sound.

You can't be both a painter and a musician and master anything. You can't. And live a life.

That's why I started amplifying my voice at all, to capture the little sounds I make when I am pushing my body physically, drumming away.

Just because I said lyrics are a sign of the inability to sing doesn't mean....A) I believe that, or B) I don't think they're cool. They are cool. Words are great. I sing along with my favorite songs, but when I am drumming and singing, the words become a note that for me. In the process of playing they have more emotional impact as notes then an actual word.
