- Nobody is interested in my opinion, so I must try to keep it to myself as much as possible (apart from this list).
- Very few people are interested in purchasing my music. The ratio of Bandcamp listens to purchases, for example, is 100:1
- Restricting equipment/software = more creative ideas.
- More equipment/software = pain.
- Joy comes from total immersion in the creative process, regardless of the outcome.
- Joy is much harder to experience when producing sounds on machines or software with pre-programmed boundaries. No, that does not mean I will be selling my car and buying Eurorack gear. And yes, I will continue to use such machines and software when Mr Hyde returns.
- Spending hours working on how one drum sound or sequence fits in with the others is exhausting and a waste of energy. Also, nobody cares.
- Nobody on this entire planet needs another set of Amen breaks, 303, 808 or 909 sounds, however they’re packaged.
- The cube filter from the EMU Morpheus should have been sold as a separate box 25 years ago.
- Laptop music, however good to listen to, does not make interesting live entertainment to watch – why do you think Autechre turn the lights out?!
- I’m not doing anything for a reaction: if you like it, that’s great and I am truly grateful. If you don’t – I don’t care anymore.
- People you thought were good friends can disappear, sometimes without a word, overnight. Don’t think you know anyone – it’s dangerous and will only lead to sadness.
- Don’t try to recreate the sound you had 30+ years ago because that’s what people want now. It’s too exhausting and is not the real you.
- Social and mass media exist to generate anxiety, spread lies and encourage turmoil. Avoid at all costs. Do not let propaganda determine your path in life.
- People in positions of power will do anything to keep themselves there.
