I went to see one of those pianos drowned in tsunami water near Fukushima and recorded it. Of course, it was totally out of tune, but I thought it was beautiful. I thought, 'Nature tuned it.'
I always think about music horizontally and vertically at the same time.
It's all very well to say this or that on Twitter and Facebook, but ultimately, if you are a musician, it is going to carry more weight if you make your statements through your craft.
I've worked with the same Prophet 5 Synthesizer by Sequential Circuit synthesiser for 40 years.
I'm a terrible drummer; I almost cannot play the guitar nor sax nor trumpet.
My interests are moving toward both 'sound and music,' not just 'music.' I have been doing lots of field recordings and also collecting lots of strange sounds.
