The older ideas are rendering more and more bland music.

If it's a language you don't understand and you're not concerned with the meanings of the words, your impression comes from how the words look, particularly if the language uses different characters.

Your responsibility as an artist is to experiment.

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.

I didn't want to try and borrow kudos from Indonesian culture. I was trying to get a fresh perspective on these instruments. I'm not doing a Paul Simon Gracelands and stealing all this African music and not give anyone any credit.

I'm starting to play all the melodies with kind of keyboard sound but playing it from the bass guitar.

I’ve started thinking about pure electronic music again. Something very melodic, very aggressive.
