Occupation: Musician Birth: 1974
If I was completely satisfied with an album, I'd probably give it up, because that'd mean I had attained some kind of state that was greater than I'd….
I love vinyl, but I'm not a 'vinyl person'. I still collect, but most of my stuff is digital..
Vinyl's just a fun endgame step. I work with analogue signal chains too, but the mp3 is the way I listen to music..
I'm not a peak oil person. I'm not a biohazard apocalyptic kind of freak. I don't have a supply of weapons or gold bars under my house..
I work with digital audio, which is like sculpting, a form of chiseling down metal or wood. And I take audio and move it back and forth between the a….
I'm not an anti-online person. I get what the modern world's about and I understand that that's the nature of music dissemination..
I download music just like anybody else, but it's a weird relationship when you're a musician..
I'm not a nostalgic person for the glory days of 8-track sales at the local K-Mart. But there's a little bit of flattery and a little bit of horror. ….
I've been playing music all my life. I wasn't really fostered in a musical family, it was something I did despite the kind of limitations put on me. ….

It depends on what kind of minimalism you're talking about, of course. I love both those artists - Brian Eno and William Basinski. I would say my min….
I'm trying to find a way to make music work as a living. People used to make their living selling albums. Those days are over! It's kind of an odd ti….
You have to make rough decisions with sequencing and work within the limitations of having good audio for 15 minutes on a vinyl side..
I did dance music for a short period of time but I felt like the fruit for me was in the outer dance world so I stopped doing overt techno and I thin….
You start to think, when you're finishing a record, in twelve- to fourteen-minute chunks. At a certain point, you do write to the format. It's not a ….
I definitely enjoy liturgical work and choral work from the 15th century and 16th century, but I play in churches with a bit of trepidation, and it's….
I wouldn't say that I'm a consummate live artist. Album work is kind of just like quilt weaving or something. But live music is just like a method of….
My peer network is international. It's people all over the place who I know, and respect their work. It's not really delineated by traditional nation….
