In a certain way, you get some new tools to work with, but I don't know if it ultimately makes the creative process any easier.

A lot of people, musically anyway, have realized that they can do it, and there's an audience for it at least in their own country, and often thought a lot of countries have a diaspora that breaks out all over the place, so they have a pretty wide audience.

Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.

I found music to be the therapy of choice.

The idea of making music from an imaginary culture was to give ourselves a set of restrictions and parameters within which to work. Otherwise, we might have just gone on all kinds of creative detours, some of which might have been interesting. But better we confine ourselves to something.

My take is that the kind of complexity which says we can always generate complexity from simple interactions following for example rules.

People use irony as a defense mechanism.
