The reason I don't tour is that I don't know how to front a band. What would I do? I can't really play anything well enough to deal with that situation.

You don't have to act as if you know what you're doing

My interest in making music has been to create something that does not exist that I would like to listen to. I wanted to hear music that had not yet happened, by putting together things that suggested a new thing which did not yet exist.

In England and Europe, we have this huge music called ambient - ambient techno, ambient house, ambient hip-hop, ambient this, ambient that.

Once music ceases to be ephemeral - always disappearing - and becomes instead material... it leaves the condition of traditional music and enters the condition of painting. It becomes a painting, existing as material in space, not immaterial in time.

Art is not an object, but a trigger for experience.

The trouble with New Age music is that there's no evil in it.
