- Everything
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm pretty involved in everything I do, which isn't always efficient and doesn't necessarily make for the more successful product. But I do feel that, in that sense, everything I do has a comprehensiveness to it.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You know, I don't think my music is important, I don't think it's changing the world, I don't think it's art. I just think it's music. It is what it is.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's traumatic to meditate on the availability of information through the Internet, or the way we perceive the world as a result. People don't experience things totally or viscerally anymore. It's all through representation, be it a record on YouTube or a post on a blog.
- Disarmed
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I feel like the Internet needs to be disarmed in some way. There needs to be a philosophical undermining of the Internet. We take it too seriously and too literally. For a reference we go to Wikipedia, which is full of inaccuracies and misinformation. It's kind of beautiful - it's all the product of imagination; it's not reality at all.
- Artist
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My only concern about art collaborations is that I never thought of myself as an Artist. My tax forms say Musician/Songwriter.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I still feel like I have a lot to learn in the realm of sound experimentation, and I think I would like things to get noisier and weirder and more distressed and more aggressive, but I don't know if that's something that would be suitable for public consumption.
- Like

- Nov 07, 2020
I'd like to do a record that doesn't even reference actual places. Because I think it's kind of an open-ended concept. It doesn't have to be taken so literally.
- Islam
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was sort of born into a Subud cult that has ties to Islam and Indonesia and Middle Eastern spiritualism. My parents were kind of trial-and-error when it came to religion.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think it's so hard to be commercial and interesting. Look at Prince, or Neil Young.
- Boring
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I believe that music is a spiritual language. My everyday self is pretty mundane and boring, but when I'm making music it allows for me to communicate a kind of transcendence that I can't communicate otherwise.
- I Can
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Audacity is central to everything I do. A lot of times I think my work is about just seeing if I can get away with it.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am not naturally inclined to history or geography - maybe that's why I like to sing about it, because it helps me remember.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My music is just about story telling. I don't have much to say, and I'm not trying to change anyone's mind. I'm just singing through conviction about what I love and what I care about, starting with the very small.
- Developed Country
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Morals, principles and laws are when faith is reduced to standards and those standards basically just bind us, and we become prejudicial, racist, self-serving when we're guided by these laws... When a developed country uses Christianity in its policies, in government, in maintaining corporate wealth, that's a bastardized rendering of a faith.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My anxiety level of my own work and what I'm doing and focusing on my art and all of that stuff? That's fundamental.
