I had an interesting day. I was in the studio with a group of musicians, who shall remain nameless, and I said to them "Our exercise today is not to use 'undo' at all. So, there's no second takes. Or, if you do a second take, you have to do the whole take. There's no sort of drop in, change that little bit". The session broke down in, I'd say, 40 minutes. It was impossible for people to work in that restriction any longer.

The most important thing in a piece of music is to seduce people to the point where they start searching.

Given the chance, i'll die like a baby, on some faraway beach, when the season's over.

I don't like celebrity programmes - but I do like programmes about how ideas are formed and evolve.

The most important thing is the thing most easily forgotten.

Once I started working with generative music in the 1970s, I was flirting with ideas of making a kind of endless music - not like a record that you'd put on, which would play for a while and finish.

I think that sex, drugs, art and religion very much overlap with one another and sometimes one becomes another.
