Music turned to digital, and suddenly you had the possibility to make things louder than loudest, which boggles the mind but it's true, and what you have are all kinds of different ways of distorting your music.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Maybe in music you're making an auditory environment and maybe you change your environment around you to suit your own way.
Sometimes it feels like my story overshadows my music.
It's a battle between record company, between producer and between mastering engineer. Because the louder you make your record in a digital process, the more dynamics are squished out of it. Nobody knows exactly what happens, but the dynamics in the performance disappear, and everything is at the same volume.
I've always tried to expand what heavy or loud music was and where it can go and what it can do.
Music's supposed to come from the heart. I felt like that if it ever got mechanical, I was going to back away from it.
I was just very conscious that I could either bore people by having the music be similar for too long, or I could just wear them out and bore them in a different way by having it changing too much every minute or two minutes. So, there was that kind of balance to get right.
I kind of always wanted my own music to just sound like, like me, I suppose, like if I was music it would be the music I make, I think.
Extreme volume in music very often disguises a lack of actually important content.
Music is extremely intuitive, which acting too in a different way.
Digital music boils down the actual musical experience.
