Digital music boils down the actual musical experience.

I am very emotionally affected by sound. Sounds are the inexplicable... There is a sound you hear in your head, it's your nerves, or your blood running.

My ears won't fool me. Even when I do a session on digital, we still warm it up somewhere in the process, in mastering or mixing, running the signal through some tubes somewhere.

When something is coming off of a Neve board and being laid down on tape, it's like a warm blanket for the brain. When you're working in a digital form, it's so harsh; it's almost painful. Your ears get more fatigued if you're mixing all day.

Music controls moods and accents life's moments. It's necessary for every situation.

I've never been able to arouse any interest in myself for digitally produced sound, and so the computer turns me off.

People doing the kind of sound research that I'm interested in still have a difficult time.

The media works in sound bites. They can make you look like a genius or stupid.

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.

Life is too complex to compress into soundbites. Every situation is different.
