Icelandic Peoples Were The Ones Who Memorized

I'm A Bit Of A Nerd, I Wouldn't Mind Working In A Shop Selling Records, Or Having A Radio Show Where I Could Play Obscure Singles.

When I Met Apple, I Made It Very Clear That I Am An Old Punk And I Have Never Done Commercials Or Been Sponsored. And I Wasn't After Their Money.

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.

I've Written Arrangements For Choirs And Strings In The Past, But I Usually Write Music With My Voice Or A Keyboard And Then I'll Get Someone Who Is Good At Writing Scores To Write It Out. Or, If I Have The Luxury Of Time, I Will Go In A Room And Hear The People Perform And Then Change It Through What I Hear, Not On Paper. I Can Read Music Ok, But I Probably Rebelled A Little - Music Changes Into Something Else When You Read It.

What Comes First? The Melody, Always. It's All About Singing The Melodies Live In My Head. They Go In Circles. I Guess I'm Quite Conservative And Romantic About The Power Of Melodies. I Try Not To Record Them On My Dictaphone When I First Hear Them. If I Forget All About It And It Pops Up Later On, Then I Know It's Good Enough. I Let My Subconscious Do The Editing For Me.
