I Do Try And Wear

I Love Hiking In Iceland Most, There Are Lots Of Brilliant Paths.

Compared To America Or Europe, God Isn't A Big Part Of Our Lives Here. I Don't Know Anyone Here Who Goes To Church When He's Had A Rough Divorce Or Is Going Through Depression. We Go Out Into Nature Instead.

Our Times Seem To Be So Much About Redefining Where We Are Physical And Where We're Not. For Me, It Is Really Exciting To Take The Cutting Edge Technology And Take It As Far As It Can Get Virtually, Use It To Describe/control The Musicology Or The Behavior Of Raw Natural Elements, And Then Plug It With A Sound Source Which Is The Most Acoustic One There Is - Like Gamelan And Pipe Organ. So You Get The Extremes: Very Virtual And Very Physical. In That Way You Shift The Physicality.

[as A Kid] I Felt It Was Really Weird That Music Schools Behaved Like A Conveyor Belt To Make Performers For Those Symphony Orchestras. If You Were Really Good And Practiced Your Violin For A Few Hours A Day For Ten Years You Might Be Invited To This Vip Elite Club. For Me Music Was Not About That. It Is About Freedom And Expression And Individuality And Impulsiveness And Spontaneity. It Wasn't So Apollonian; It Was More Dionysian.

I'm Not As Religious As Some People About "the Album." To Be Honest, That Was A Product Of A Format. You Had Vinyl, And You Could Fit Five Songs On Each Side, And That's 45 Minutes. You Had A-side Songs And B-side Songs; I Always Loved The First Song On Side B. And There's Nothing Wrong With That. Prog Albums Of The 70s Adapted To That Format Very Much. But Not All Musicians Want To Create 45 Minutes Of Music That Has To Be Listened To In Chronological Order.
