My work is all about creating new paths for thinking about the possibilities inherent in all art; another world is possible!

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."

I think record cover sleeves really led towards, but at the same time the album as we know it didn't come into being until mainly after the Second World War because record labels realized they'd be able to make a lot more money putting all the singles of an artist onto one album and selling the whole album as a kind of a concept.

To me, the imagination is the ultimate renewable resource.

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

So Bach, Beethoven, Duke Ellington, Thelonius Monk, these are all people who would sort of rearrange or take riffs from people. Same thing with rock, if you look at the Rolling Stones doing a cover of Otis Redding or you know if you look at literature James Joyce is pulling fragments of text from other people.

You'll get this kind of psychological relationship to the imagery of the music, but that idea is translated to iPhone apps. It's translated to the small, you know, kind of icons on your computer. You name it.
