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

I wanted to use the studio like a microscope for sound, which is what good engineers do.

People do dismiss ambient music, don't they? They call it 'easy listening,' as if to suggest that it should be hard to listen to.

The problem with improvisation is, of course, that everyone just slips into their comfort zone and does sort of the easy thing to do, the most obvious thing to do with your instrument.

We are increasingly likely to find ourselves in places with background music. No composers have thought to write for these modern spaces, which represent 30% of our musical experience.

I would like to see a future where artists think that they have a right to contemplate things like global warming.

As soon as you externalize an idea you see facets of it that weren't clear when it was just floating around in your head.
