I think recordings have been a terrific advance because now, when you have a piece of music, particularly something that appears to the listener very complicated, there's really a push to the world to try to figure out what it was that he was hearing.

I think we are coming to a new era where people will record much faster.

If I think about the way I was drawn into the music, it was much more by recordings than by live performances.

We gave up on the idea of trying to make the record a good representation of the live performance.

Everybody thinks performance capture is about thrashing around and doing a lots of movement, but it's actually about being able to contain and think and be believed in a close-up, as much as anything else.

Music is about the performance.

Performance capture is a technology, not a genre; it's just another way of recording an actor's performance.

Performing is a thing in itself, a distinct skill, different from making recordings. And for those who can do it, it's a way to make a living.

I was always more interested in the ultimate live performance rather than the recording for its own sake. And, for the audience too, that thrill of - just being there.
