I'm not an anti-online person. I get what the modern world's about and I understand that that's the nature of music dissemination.

I love vinyl, but I'm not a 'vinyl person'. I still collect, but most of my stuff is digital.

You have to make rough decisions with sequencing and work within the limitations of having good audio for 15 minutes on a vinyl side.

My peer network is international. It's people all over the place who I know, and respect their work. It's not really delineated by traditional nationalist ideas.

I'm trying to find a way to make music work as a living. People used to make their living selling albums. Those days are over! It's kind of an odd time. I guess it's kind of like writing.

I take the literary or textual aspect really seriously and I really enjoy writing weird album titles. I did a PhD; I enjoy writing.

I'm not a peak oil person. I'm not a biohazard apocalyptic kind of freak. I don't have a supply of weapons or gold bars under my house.

I download music just like anybody else, but it's a weird relationship when you're a musician.

Vinyl's just a fun endgame step. I work with analogue signal chains too, but the mp3 is the way I listen to music.

I found all my reading and writing informed my music in subtle ways. Ravedeath came out of studying the pipe organ, going to New Jersey - the world's loudest and biggest pipe organ.

Offness yields a hypnotic effect. The brain can see simplistic patterns that lock and it's boring after a while. I don't cater to that.

You are the ultimate truth of your life. Everything that happens to you depends on you and your thoughts.

The way you perceive your Self is what enables, or disables, you.

When men sow the wind it is rational to expect that they will reap the whirlwind.

Crime is rampant. We even steal away from responsibility.

Sometimes we are blessed with being able to choose the time, and the arena, and the manner of our revolution, but more usually we must do battle where we are standing.

I liked him first, but it doesn't matter. I still like him. That doesn't matter either. Or at least, it's not supposed to.

I believe I experience creativity at every moment of my life.

By the time I was about ten, I had started to lose faith with church ways. I was educated in some ways by my high school government and history teachers.

Literature is my calling To hold up the mirror to my countrymen comes natural to me; and in the open field of invention I am not without hopes of giving them pleasure.

Even people who don't share my specific faith (denomination, beliefs, etc.) are typically enthusiastic about my profession of faith in God and my commitment to living to God-given standards.
