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.

I want to make things that put me in the position of innocence, that recreate the feeling of innocence in you.
