In a recent interview, you mentioned that innovation and creative mindset are often overlooked in favor of things that are convenient and predictable. Nowadays, how can a person in the art field keep the authenticity and avoid the “easy ways”?

Simple, when the artist completes their work. Review the piece with the question: “Does this feel like something I’ve heard/seen/felt before?” If it does, erase/delete it and start over. If it doesn’t, continue to make more music inspired by that work (I suggest 10 more works) until you arrive at something magical. Then, let the World experience it. Society and culture advances by the way of these magical works. We do not need to know your process, just your conclusion.

Music is perhaps the art that presents the most philosophical puzzles. You often talk about philosophical concepts through your work. What is your relationship with musical ontology?

My ontology revolves around the natural way of being. Where there are no mistakes or mishaps, just actualities and the consequences of reality. And even with the precision we find with using technology, I would prefer to allow ways for the human connection to be exposed. It more honest and what people are able to recognise is the level of skill and craftsmanship of the work. I imagine (a human life) on another planet similar to a human life here on earth. Because we are a limited species that rely on oxygen and water to survive, we will always have to be concerned about our safety first. This will always keep us at a distance from experiencing the unknown with the human eye. Instead, we’ll use technology to render ad impression.

What is your perception about time? Enemy, friend or just a source of inspiration?

None of the above. I don’t think of time as something in which one can have a bond with. The way we consider time is manly for practical reasons, humans have created “the clock” – something in which we can use to sectionalise and measure how much time we have left so that we may feel empowered – to feel as if we can some control of what happens between a sunrise and a sunset. Which I might add, are also for our convenience. My perception is not based on a linear view (second by second), but by a dimensionally cyclic understanding. Time does not repeat itself, but its clear to see that humans have a deep affection to re-live (almost worship) the past. Even the worst of it.

Earth is not the limit to your music. How do you imagine life and sound on the other planets?

The nature and physicality of that planet will dictate how humans will translate those encounters. Discoveries have already showed us that the scale, depth, mass, weight and other calculation of things on other planets are far beyond anything we’ve seen here on Earth, so I would imagine that there might be many new things to describe through and art form.
