My dark sound could be heard across a room clearer than somebody with a reedy sound. It had more projection. My sound always seemed to fill a room.

It's really the sound of the voices, the sound of the words, the sound of the sound that we're interested in.

Sound is the vocabulary of nature.

I always say my music is like dark blue or black, like a punch to your gut that feels really good.

'Darkness' is a subjective word; it depends what your viewpoint is and how you live life.

I wouldn't call myself a synaesthete in the sense that Nabokov was. But I'll talk about a sound as being cold blue or dark brown. For descriptive purposes, yes, I often see colors when I'm listening to music and think, 'Oh, there's not enough sort of yellowy stuff in here, or not enough white.'

I know what my sound is. I'm just trying to get it out there how I can explain it. I'm not trying to write or put out some music that doesn't represent me.

When you write music that expresses doubt or concern, or talks about some of the darker things that a developing human goes through, people will come out of the woodwork to listen to someone else say it out loud.

When I see a colour or hear a sound, I am aware of something, and not of nothing.
