We use a lot of source music on some shows and none on others.
I think that the process of making music is a hard one to describe as well.
I think that a song, when it works, never mind a piece of long form music, even a song is something that speaks to itself but has a language all of its own, ideally.
Obviously classical music tends to be stuff that is usually at least a hundred years old.
Hip-hop is a beautiful thing. I think that the music genre itself has created more millionaires than any other music genre before it, especially in our community.
I don't read music, which is a shame, actually, and I shouldn't even speak of it because it's embarrassing, but it's true.
Of all noises, I think music is the least disagreeable.

What we value about music and literature are the moments that they create in our minds when we encounter them.
My music is so often like a lullaby I write to myself to make sense of things I can't tie together, or things I've lost, or things I'll never have.

In '77 there was no Internet, there was no Twitter or Facebook, and I think that, without being some old git who hates anything new, people's attention spans are too short. Back then you had 'Top Of The Pops' and 'Melody Maker,' and you had to make t...
When you're 14, 15, and you get together and start making a noise, it is the world opening up. You have that indestructible feeling when you're young. But your ambitions when you are 13 are different when you're 25. By that time, your ambition isn't ...
