about

. a xerox collage .

. ANOTHER INTERVIEW, ANOTHER TIME ( but still pertinent ...) : QUESTION : “how important is intuition in your work?”

ANSWER : it’s a key, one of the most important things in this particular macrocosm of expression…. too much craftsmanship kills music dead –you lose something, something precious…. and you gain only inhibition and sterility…. lots of people mistake my meaning when i say this. you need to be in touch with your unconscious self when you create… not straitjacketed by an over emphasis on technique… music is a orgiastic, beautiful medium and you owe it to yourself not to ruin it by over analysing it, over-recording, and generally worrying the thing to death; too much “craftsmanship” and you can kill it stone dead.

lyrics

. an original cassette assemblage/aggregation .
