If you want to make someone feel emotion, you have to make them let go. Listening to something is an act of surrender.

You feel as if you're not living a full life. Which, of course, is why - it's my theory about why so many people who are heavily into computers are also into extreme sports and S&M. It's because their bodies are crying out for some kind of action.

I always use the same guitar I got this guitar years and years ago for nine pounds. It's still got the same strings on it.
Brian Eno

If something is good, you must torture it mercilessly until it is either dead or great.

You just make different music on a computer. And you can make wonderful music on a computer, but don't pretend that the machinery is transparent. It makes as much difference to what you're doing as it does if you play an acoustic guitar as opposed to a kettledrum. You're not going to make the same music.

Any constraint is part of the skeleton that you build the composition on - including your own incompetence.
