A piano is a machine, but you've got ivory and there's weight behind the keys and you have this really - you feel the resonance in the instrument, you feel the vibration in the pedal. I mean, these a still very crude.

There's just an incredibly rich and interesting relationship between our listening to music and the way our minds engage.

I think in many ways, the texture of technology actually diminishes human beings. It doesn't augment them.

I think that one of the things about music is it's supposed to be spontaneous, it's supposed to be real human beings bouncing off of each other whether its from the stage or to the audience, or jamming with friends.

Nobody talks about music as having intrinsic meaning, how it engages the mind.

I love working with technology because it allows me to follow my imagination and to invent new things.

Works of art should be stimulating. They should wake people up rather than acting like a sedative.
