I'm Pampered Like You Wouldn't Believe.

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.

Maybe I'm Used To Religious Music Being Gentler In The Classical World.

I Was Happy Using Cassettes When I Was Fifteen, But I'm Sure They Were Sneered At In Their Day By Audiophiles.

Rock Music Is Quite Big In India - But It Mostly Just Replaces All The Intricacies Of Indian Rhythms And Indian Melody With Lumpen Rock Drumming And Power Chords.

Everything I Do Feels Like It's Going To End Up Being In Radiohead.
