One of the more distant concerns is with the visual interpretation of the music. I find it fascinating but I don't always particularly get involved with it.

The older ideas are rendering more and more bland music.

I’m not that interested in what people make of it, or how people consider me. That’s nothing to do with me.

But I don't really listen to much be-bop at all at the moment.

I want to change peoples' minds about music, I want to bring the really brutal experimental stuff to peoples' attention.

Just the type of music that was around at the same time as I was writing. Some of it was wicked, definitely. But there was just one direction which I thought could be pushed that no one was pushing.

One of those things that I find hard to dispose of is my attitude to album sequencing, the layout of the pieces.
