I love vinyl, but I'm not a 'vinyl person'. I still collect, but most of my stuff is digital.

I'm not an anti-online person. I get what the modern world's about and I understand that that's the nature of music dissemination.

You have to make rough decisions with sequencing and work within the limitations of having good audio for 15 minutes on a vinyl side.

My peer network is international. It's people all over the place who I know, and respect their work. It's not really delineated by traditional nationalist ideas.

I'm trying to find a way to make music work as a living. People used to make their living selling albums. Those days are over! It's kind of an odd time. I guess it's kind of like writing.

I take the literary or textual aspect really seriously and I really enjoy writing weird album titles. I did a PhD; I enjoy writing.

I'm not a peak oil person. I'm not a biohazard apocalyptic kind of freak. I don't have a supply of weapons or gold bars under my house.

I download music just like anybody else, but it's a weird relationship when you're a musician.

Vinyl's just a fun endgame step. I work with analogue signal chains too, but the mp3 is the way I listen to music.

I found all my reading and writing informed my music in subtle ways. Ravedeath came out of studying the pipe organ, going to New Jersey - the world's loudest and biggest pipe organ.

Offness yields a hypnotic effect. The brain can see simplistic patterns that lock and it's boring after a while. I don't cater to that.

Reader, you must know that an interesting fate (sometimes involving rats, sometimes not) awaits almost everyone, mouse or man, who does not conform.

Who realizes what? That is realization.

Is it courage in a dying man to go, in weakness and in agony, to affront an almighty and eternal God?

Love and prayer are intimately related.

Had you the world on your Chesse-bord, you could not fill all to your mind.

My new year's resolution: Never be afraid to be kicked in the teeth. Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy.

I have still the best comforts of life - books and friendships - and I trust never to lose my relish for either.

I work with whatever mediums seems best suited to evoking the sorts of thoughts and emotions I am interested in playing with.

My meditation is a method of being aware - of whatever you are doing, thinking, feeling.

Meditation helps us to get out of our thoughts about the future and really be in the present moment.
