I Don't Think You Need To Sound

If Your Whole World Of A Band Or Music Is Taking Place In A Digital Realm Or On Technological Devices, It's All Mediated Through Those Things. That Takes Away From The Experiential And Sensual Nature Of Music. That's A Lot Less Exciting For Me To Think About. It's Not My Ideal Way Of Living With Music.

A Lot Of Music For Me Was About - I Mean Aside From The Fun And Challenge Of Writing And Being Really Good Friends With My Bandmates - Getting To Perform.
