When I started making my own records, I had this idea of drowning out the singer and putting the rest in the foreground. It was the background that interested me.

We are increasingly likely to find ourselves in places with background music. No composers have thought to write for these modern spaces, which represent 30% of our musical experience.

The reason I don't tour is that I don't know how to front a band. What would I do? I can't really play anything well enough to deal with that situation.

The philosophical idea that there are no more distances, that we are all just one world, that we are all brothers, is such a drag! I like differences.

The lyrics are constructed as empirically as the music. I don't set out to say anything very important.

Robert Fripp and I will be recording another LP very soon. It should be even more monotonous than the first one!

People assume that the meaning of a song is vested in the lyrics. To me, that has never been the case. There are very few songs that I can think of where I remember the words.

One of the interesting things about having little musical knowledge is that you generate surprising results sometimes; you move to places you wouldn't if you knew better.

Nearly all the things I do that are of any merit at all start off just being good fun, and I think I'm sort of building up to doing something else quite soon.

My lyrics are generated by various peculiar processes. Very random and similar to automatic writing.

My guitar only has five strings 'cause the top one broke and I decided not to put it back on: when I play chords I only play bar chords, and the top one always used to cut me there.

Musicians are there in front of you, and the spectators sense their tension, which is not the case when you're listening to a record. Your attention is more relaxed. The emotional aspect is more important in live music.

Music in itself carries a whole set of messages which are very, very rich and complex, and the words either serve to exclude certain ones or point up certain others.

Most of those melodies are me trying to find out what notes fit, and then hitting ones that don't fit in a very interesting way.

It's not the destination that matters. It's the change of scene.

In the 1960s, people were trying to get away from the pop song format. Tracks were getting longer, or much, much shorter.

If you're in a forest, the quality of the echo is very strange because echoes back off so many surfaces of all those trees that you get this strange, itchy ricochet effect.
