I Can Remember Soundtracks That You Just

I'm Quite Into Listening To Music And Not Doing Anything Else.

It's What The Pixies Always Said About Music - They Were Writing Songs And Just Trying Not To Be Boring. That Was Their Main Motivation And It Worked For Them. I Remember Reading That And Thinking That Was The Way To Do It.

I Was Just Very Conscious That I Could Either Bore People By Having The Music Be Similar For Too Long, Or I Could Just Wear Them Out And Bore Them In A Different Way By Having It Changing Too Much Every Minute Or Two Minutes. So, There Was That Kind Of Balance To Get Right.

I Fell In Love With Electronics, Which For Me Was The Terra Incognita, Because I Had Never Heard Such Sounds. If You'd Asked Me 50 Years Ago, I Would Have Said The Future Of Music Is Only Electronic, But I Would Have Been Wrong. I Learnt How To Produce Everything I Needed With Live Instrumentalists, So I Don't Need Electronics.

I Worry About Being A Fogy And Just Writing For Orchestras. Like, Really, I Should Be Doing More Electronic Stuff, I Feel. Laptops As Part Of The Orchestra, And Installation Sound, And Speakers.
