There is a sort of convergence starting to happen between the computer and musical instruments, but it's still quite a long way off.

Robert Fripp and I will be recording another LP very soon. It should be even more monotonous than the first one!

It's actually very easy for democracy to disappear.

I got an amazing 10-CD set, it's the music that Alan Lomax recorded in Haiti in 1936. And what's incredible is how fantastic the drummers are and how off-the-grid they are. The liveliness is astonishing; they're just totally alive, these recordings. It's very interesting, to me, to be reminded of that, that there was a time when things were not that tight.

Sometimes something intrigues me about particular sounds, how they work together, and I think "Okay, I've found something here; I'm going to take it somewhere." And sometimes just to find a name for that sound, whatever it is, ends up becoming a title of the piece or becoming part of the title.

I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.

I've got nothing against records - I've spent my life making them - but they are a kind of historical blip.
