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

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

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

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.

As you see the opening get closer, you just can't get fast enough. And finally, just when you think you'll never get there, you see the opening right in front of you.

A man who can't uphold his beliefs is pathetic dead or alive - Hajime Saito

What they ask you for is actions, proofs, works, and all you can produce are transformed tears.

I was never less alone than when by myself.

Help others achieve their dreams and you will achieve yours.

Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during the moment.

I always found something strangely paternal about the director-actor relationship. Actors want so much approval.

If you fear loneliness, then don't get married.

I waited and waited, and when no message came, I knew it must have been from you.

Be grateful! It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want, thank before having what you want.
