In fact, if you look at the root word of phonograph it just means phonetics of graphology, phono-graph, writing with sound, so graphology. You know graffiti, same root word.

Music, art, and literature are inseparable for me. How does "composition" evolve in a music and art context? It's a question we can never answer: it only asks for more information and generates more questions.

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.

I'm passionate about the fact that this world that we live on is a stunningly beautiful place we have despoiled at every level.

I like the idea of it as a trickster motif. You know like you're kind of just messing around with people's memories of songs.

If you don't understand the past, the future won't make much sense either.

The easiest thing I can say is simple, but paradoxical in this era of total sampling: Be original.
