"As soon as I hear a sound, it always suggests a mood to me."

Sound

"When I started making my own records, I had this idea of drowning out the singer and putting the rest in the foreground. It was the background that interested me."

Idea

"I'm not interested in possible complexities. I regard song structure as a graph paper."

Music

"If you watch any good player, they're using different parts of their body and working with instruments that respond to those movements. They're moving in many dimensions at once."

Body

"Most of those melodies are me trying to find out what notes fit, and then hitting ones that don't fit in a very interesting way."

Trying

Talent

Freedom
