Living "in" a story, being part of a narrative, is much more satisfying than living without one. I don't always know what narrative it is, because I'm living my life and not always reflecting on it, but as I edit these pages I am aware that I have an urge to see my sometimes random wandering as having a plot, a purpose guided by some underlying story.

If anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. It's really only to be heard when everyone's out enjoying it.

When everything is visible and appears to be dumb, that's when the details take on larger meanings.

I found music to be the therapy of choice.

The assumption is that your personal life has to be a mess to create, but how much chaos can you allow in before it takes over?

I've rarely seen video screens used well in a music concert.

Life tends to be an accumulation of a lot of mundane decisions, which often gets ignored.
