I love futurist music. ”

I think for a horror experience to be really scary, something has to be a bit of a shock and a surprise. It's like something you've never experienced before. ”

Music as a business is a dirty thing. ”

The library companies have made it so that music is so cheap to license. They do sound-alikes of every band, and it makes it harder for the actual bands to get any decent paychecks for licensing. ”

I try every day to do something that I've never done before or make some sound that I've never made before. ”

I'm not a sports fan, but I remember watching highlights with post-rock guitar instrumental music over these slow-motion shots of football players. It's triumphant, and it's emotional, and that's what sports are for. ”
