It Feels Like Radiohead Are

As I Kid, I Was Always Jealous Of The Music That My Favorite Bands Had Written - But Not Really Of How They Played. So I'd Daydream About Having Written Songs, And This Way Above Being Able To Perform Them.

The Strangest Part Of Indian Music Is Its Lack Of Chords: There's No Such Thing As Major Or Minor, And It's Unusual To Hear More Than Two Different Pitches At The Same Time.

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 Was Happy Using Cassettes When I Was Fifteen, But I'm Sure They Were Sneered At In Their Day By Audiophiles.

I Suppose Subconsciously I Was Thinking In Terms Of Having The Scale Of It Matching The Scale Of The Images. Hence The Sort Of String Quartet, Jazz Band And Electronic Stuff.
