I Think It's A Bit Of A

I Suppose All Of Us - We Have The Old Protestant Work Ethic Of Feeling Guilty When You're Not Working, And Getting A Buzz From Feeling Like You're Really Busy. That's The Reason To Sort Of Carry On.

I Think It Should Be Ambitious And Good Music Does Deal With Life And Art And All These Wonderful Things.

I Remember When I Was In My Late Teens Just Getting Rid Of Lots Of Records, Realizing I Only Ever Listened To Them When I Was Reading, Or Watching Tv, Or Doing Something Else.

I Trust Microphones, Speakers And Recordings Less And Less, And No Longer Buy Into The Idea That I Can Recreate At Home, Or In My Earphones, The Experience Of Hearing Live Acoustic Instruments. The Orchestra Is Already A Set Of Speakers That React Differently To Each Player, Each Room And Each Concert - It's That High Level Of Uncertainly And Unrepeatability That I Like. The Music Is Just Soaked Into The Walls Of A Room Straight From The Instruments - And It's A One-off Deal. The Alternative - Left Speaker, Right Speaker - Is Kind Of A Compromise.

I Can Remember Soundtracks That You Just Can't Separate From The Film - It's Just So Intertwined, So Important. Like The Hitchcock Ones Where They Kind Of Inform Each Other And Become This Larger Thing As A Result.
