So when I feel the spirit upon me it's something I don't take it for granted, and I don't think I'm solely responsible for these things.

People fall into patterns at fast speeds, when really, to have a clear musical thought - the kind of musical thought that makes a melody work - our brains just can't think that fast. At a certain point, you're going on automatic.

You gotta constantly purify yourself, living in the city, around human beings. There might be people close to you who affect you inside yourself in such a corrupt way that it screws with your ability to do what you do. But if you make sure that the people who are close you are good people who are there for you and love you, you can create your temple everywhere you go.

We are all very lucky to live in a world where there is this much music.

Make sure you stay in touch with beauty instead of letting the ugliness of the world corrupt your soul

Right now my taste is going more for things that are organic where the people are using all the sonic possibilities in interesting ways.

But for me if I'm gonna read about something I'd rather read a pamphlet or the instructions to a synthesizer than a book on Buddhism.
