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 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.

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.

I am but a man learning his way in this crazy life.

The trouble with having a fertile mind is that the weeds grow as prolific as the pastures.

Food is what I love, and how I communicate love, and how I calm myself.

Isn't it awkward how a lot of the people who tell others to 'stop being cheap, ' are usually the same ones that end up borrowing money from them?

Knowledge is abundant but wisdom is rare. Knowledge might be dangerous but wisdom is fair.

If you admire yourself in the mirror, let it be in fear and not delight, because the only thing that beauty will bring to you is terror of losing it.

A week ago it was the mountains I thought the most wonderful, and today it's the plains. I guess it's the feeling of bigness in both that carries me away.

Stationery is addictive. I get mine made in Paris at Benetton, and writing on it gives me a strange thrill.

My curiosity and my appetite for evolving as an actor is one of the main components of me still working today in the business.

It was a hard time for me to have a pure moment, to be present, to be here.
