As a child I was very into gadgets and machines and robots.

Essentially a joke is creating an idea, whether sonic or visual, whether it's something musical or a traditional joke.

When I'm at the piano, and I'm improvising some song about something, it usually oscillates between factual, absurd, and sincere.

The idea of experimenting with machines to create art was always something I tinkered with.

Music and art is regarded as extra and can be the first thing that you cut in a school program, and it's completely not true. If you want to create really boring, frustrated human beings, then yeah, cut out art and science.

If it's physical pain, you just deal with it the best way you can. But if it's more emotional, I don't know. I just try my best to feel it, take it in, and just allow myself to go through whatever may actually come from it. And then a certain amount of it, you can use to transform it through art, which is the healthy way of dealing with it, as well.

Feel not as though it is a sphere we live on. Rather, an infinite plane which has the illusion of leading yourself back to the point of origin.
