Quote

In 1990 if you heard a song on the radio and you really wanted to hear it again you'd have to buy it on tape or CD. Hearing music doesn't hold that kind of value anymore because anyone can hear it. It's going to become even easier.

I think it's an interesting thing to have to produce an album that you'll want to listen to for 50 minutes.

The point has always been to make music, it's not like I've always been running a giant money making scheme.

Sharing information, art, music, and everything on the internet now has become a part of everyone's lives.

It's easy to hate on things that are close to your world that aren't exactly what you're doing.

When there's something negative in my life, be it in the art or the music world or in my personal life, I really just want to face it as immediately as possible. I don't run from it. I just want to immerse myself in it, get through it as quickly as possible, understand it, and look into what is positive about it.

KRS-One is one of my favorite rappers ever. I actually don't even know why I have this on my computer, but I do. I really like this album, Criminal Minded.

I always like to borrow bits and pieces of things. There's a line between jumping on something that's happening and incorporating bits and pieces of it into my work.

I still like weird music but there's such an overabundance that it's hard for me to stay enthusiastic about it.

When people come to my shows they know there is a distinct beginning and end. It's difficult for me to play for much more than an hour, so people kind of come out and treat it like a rock show. They're fiending and ready to dance.

I feel like all the artists that I really love, they've had a strong contingent of people who really hate their work as well.

My start came with experimental musicians and live bands. I never played with DJ's because it wasn't really the correct fit. It fit in more with someone using a laptop to create their own electronic music. When you're doing music like that, it's hard to get more than 20 people to come to your show.

You can feel a little vulnerable when you see people tearing you apart on the internet or saying, It's the end of music. This guy is a total hack. I've read it all. But at the same time, even though I feel a little vulnerable with that, I do feel comfortable.

Something that distinguishes my solo work from normal rap production is that it has a lot of melody - it's not just cutting up a song and having someone rap over it.

In the two years of preparing material for shows, I realized there are elements that are definitely going to work live, but might not be the most exciting thing to put on a record. And there's stuff that I really love but it falls flat live.

I hear something I like, and sometimes, I think it's gonna work, and I will cut it up, try it out, try to work with other material. Sometimes, it falls flat, and other times, it works out, so in that way, I'm constantly listening to music because I enjoy it.

I've grown up playing pop music for the experimental crowd and I always feel like I'm pushing something weird on people. I had this underdog feeling. It's crazy that all of a sudden I'm the overhyped band you read about on the blogs.

The point of making records for me isn't to hear 300 songs in 50 minutes it's to hear the 50-minute piece of music.

I wasn't trying to make a following. I was just trying to make interesting music. That's not being modest, that's just being realistic.

I love getting out there and traveling and doing shows and all of that. But when I can be home, it's a special time.

I use minimal software to make my music - a wav editor and a calculator for my beats to make sure everything falls on mathematical precision. If you were just mapping this out visually, it works by math. I guess it's slightly engineering influenced.
