brain the-end-of-the-day forget
Forget all the equipment, forget the music, at the end of the day it's just literally frequencies and their effects on your brain. That's what's everyone's essentially after.
order brain deals
When you get new rules that work, you're changing the physiology of your brain. And then your brain has to reconfigure itself in order to deal with it.
fun children kids
I'm trying to work out more ways to involve my children, because the way I do stuff is so anti-kid, it's really boring. It's not fun. It is to me, but not to them, because they don't even know what I'm doing.
real the-end-of-the-day sound
It always sounds more right to me when it's detuned. When it's right in tune, it's like there's something slightly off. But at the end of the day, it's all about frequencies and what they do to you. That's the real core.
play piano work-out
I actually prefer it if I don't know what I'm supposed to do. If you've got an equal temperament piano keyboard, then you know what you're going to get if you play certain chords. But I actually like it if you don't know where the notes are, because then you do it intuitively. You're working out a new language, basically. New rules.
balance dizzy problem
I've got a weird balance problem as a human being, like I'm dizzy, and it's something to do with that.
people following-rules west
You're brainwashed in the West with equal temperament, so it's quite hard for people who like following rules to get outside of that and see what you can do. But for me it's easy because I don't work like that. I work intuitively.
years track done
I've always got to change something. All the tracks I've done in the last five years were made in like six different studios. It gets a bit complicated.
world missions composer
A lot of composers before me have been on this mission to change the world by getting off equal temperament, and I'm definitely one of those.
things-change
You change all the time. Everything changes you.
deal great presented
I would say the Borg presented us with a great deal of imagination.
new-experiences people mind
Open your mind to new experiences, particularly to the study of other people. Nothing that happens to a writer – however happy, however tragic – is ever wasted.
writing world language
We who write in English are fortunate to have the richest and most versatile language in the world. Respect it.
gives god throw
God gives every bird his worm, but He does not throw it into the nest.
