i reread it once a year and it never fails to inspire.

it’s happened to all of us.
I was listening to an ambient album once and the last track ended on this incredible five-minute drone. Or so I thought! It was the fridge playing up!

"you're mixing a song for a band. there is a stick click inside the last drum fill. nobody mentioned it. do you remove the click, or do you leave the performance as it is?"

I feel the same way about music, and I think the battle is lost there – most people, I think, consider that if listening doesn’t give them what they already know they wanted, then they are not interested – for me, I want to learn more, absorb more, understand more. To be stretching
