As you can appreciate over my lifetime I've developed a large vocabulary of sounds each requiring certain physical techniques often combined with a specific effect box.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Out of doing all that experimentation with sound I decided I wanted to do it with live musicians. To take repetition, take music fragments and make it live. Musicians would be able to play it and create this kind of abstract fabric of sound.
I come from a background of experimental music which mingled real sounds together with musical sounds.
The combination of experience and experimentation will ultimately yield a personal sound.
I got tired of different drum sounds so you buy different effects for more manipulation.
I take sounds and change them into words.
I just play intuitively and work the same way in the studio. I don't have any magical effects or anything that helps me to get my particular sound.
I was very pleased to find that once I had records out music videos were starting to happen, so I directed some of my own music videos and got to experiment in other areas of expression.
There are so many sounds I still want to make, so many things I haven't yet done.
I think I have a basic sound aesthetic that is in most of what I do.
I love the power of words - no music or special effects - and I want to demonstrate that power.
