QUOTES:

“I asked the sunset & the sky, ‘what should I do with my life?’ And they answered ‘MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC,’ and I knew that of all my passions that was what I was going to pursue”

“Right now is really a golden-era if you’re an electronic musician. You’re really only limited by your imagination & you have to learn how to focus your energy, otherwise you’re just throwing things at the wall. Gotta learn how to simplify”

“Music’s a complete mystery. I don’t think anyone knows what it really is. We know that there are vibrations in the air, but after that it’s a mystery”

“I’m hunting beauty more than I’m hunting complexity”

“I’m at my highest power when being completely transparent, just by letting things thru & by not being in the way. I like to think of music as the master & I’m just the student. The music is what keeps the universe together, it keeps the planets all in order around the sun”

“All we’re doing is amplifying what’s already there. When it happens right, it sort of lubricates the points of difference in perception that we all have”

“I’m not building the roads, I’m more like a taxi driver figuring out the route, like an exploring celebrating the cosmos, shining light in all of the hidden corners”

“Linear time is really a human construct, a way of perceiving reality with our human interface. So when we play with time, & music is my way of doing this, we kind of unveil this non-linearity of time itself”

“Each psychedelic substance plays a different role in our understanding of music. Mushrooms are really good at helping us sense the interconnectedness of nature, for me anyway, and LSD is like a tool to help us see reality as it actually is, where you can get inside of music & start to see it as a three-dimensional object”
