I started out in theatre and I definitely have wanted to add extra musical elements to my music with both imagery and text.

I'm just not arbitrarily choosing to have five guitars play one type of thing. In that way there's a definite similarity between a symphony orchestra and the 100 guitar symphony.

One hundred guitarists making lots of noise would not be something you'd want to listen to.

Music is about imagination. It's about thought. It's about creating something from nothing.

I liked rock music going back to the '60s, but I never ever had any desire to be a rock musician and when I started doing a band it was experimental music.

It's crucial that people are on the right measure at the right time.

I want the music to be ambiguous. Its tone gives you a context in which to start visualizing what you're feeling with the music.
