I usually am very specific about how I engage information, how I engage people, what context I'm engaging and, above all, the research that goes into each of those.

The idea of a visual icon that gives you a sense of information very quickly and that you can easily just say "That's what the style is."

Whenever you play a song, you're basically playing with a lot of zeros and ones. These are Western compositional models that other cultures have explored in so many ways.

There is a complexity and layering that goes on with this kind of thing, so the music is slightly repetitive and when I say repetitive it's in the same tradition as people like Steve Reich or Erik Satie or even WC.

I was never planning on being a musician. It's basically a hobby that sprawled out of control.

I've tended to find that myths of the near future give people the ability to really kind of explore the present, so say for example if look at William Gibson and his book Neuromancer or if you look at J.G. Ballard or Samuel Delaney those are probably three of my favorite writers in that genre.

What I'm going for with the string arrangements for my Antarctic symphony is a pun here.
