If you had a sign above every studio door saying ‘This Studio is a Musical Instrument’ it would make such a different approach to recording.

I think the idea that people walk around to music is very interesting. They are actually creating the soundtrack to their lives as they walk around to it.

What people call unemotional just doesnt have a single overriding emotion to it. The things that I like best are the ones that ambiguous on the emotional level.

I take sounds and change them into words.

If I tried to make a commercial album, it would be a complete flop. I have no idea what the world at large likes.

Ideas reflect the moment, and so you have to use them. If you store ideas, they wither.

In the 1960s, people were trying to get away from the pop song format. Tracks were getting longer, or much, much shorter.
