As Soon As You Impose Western Chords

I'm Happy To Write 10 Times Too Much Music.

I Trust Microphones, Speakers And Recordings Less And Less, And No Longer Buy Into The Idea That I Can Recreate At Home, Or In My Earphones, The Experience Of Hearing Live Acoustic Instruments. The Orchestra Is Already A Set Of Speakers That React Differently To Each Player, Each Room And Each Concert - It's That High Level Of Uncertainly And Unrepeatability That I Like. The Music Is Just Soaked Into The Walls Of A Room Straight From The Instruments - And It's A One-off Deal. The Alternative - Left Speaker, Right Speaker - Is Kind Of A Compromise.

I Sometimes Feel A Bit Embarrassed To Play Guitar. There's Something - I Don't Want To Sound Ungrateful - But There's Something Very Old-fashioned And Traditional About It. You Meet Kids Today Whose Grandparents Were In Punk Bands, Really. It's Very Old And Traditional, But Then, You Know, So Is An Orchestra And So Is The String Section.

I Think Guitarists Are Really Over-admired And Over-revered.

I Like Playing The Stuff Where I Don´t Know What I´m Gonna Play. Like The End Of Fake Plastic Trees Or The End Of Paranoid Android - Stuff Where I Can Do Anything And No One Notices Or Cares.
