What people call unemotional just doesnt have a single overriding emotion to it. The things that I like best are the ones that ambiguous on the emotional level.

I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory that's when you do your best work.

The micro-compositions are the pieces themselves, but the macro-composition is the whole set of them and how it moves from track to track and how the titles relate to one another, for example.

Except in a few cases like Music for Airports, which was a very clear case of noticing a niche [and] saying, Okay, there's this situation in which people always play music, and nobody has written music for that situation so I'm going to. So, that was a very clear example of spotting a niche and working for it. I have done that occasionally.

At the party, Rob Partridge said to me, You gave hope to other balding men. My new epitaph: Co-wrote a couple of decent songs and went bald shamelessly.

Most game music is based on loops effectively.

For the world to be interesting, you have to be manipulating it all the time.

Rationality is what we do to organize the world, to make it possible to predict. Art is the rehearsal for the inapplicability and failure of that process.

Complexity and intelligence grow from simplicity, not from greater complexity.

I'm bloody awful at multi-tasking.

A culture is the sum of all the things about which humanity can choose to differ.
