They say that people who make avant garde music do it because they couldn't hack it making the regular stuff. In my case that is entirely true. Although I have a halfway decent sense of pitch, my timing has always been clunky as shit. I've been a musician for almost 20 years, and over that time I've improved very slightly, but I'll always be able to hear far finer rhythms than I can perform, and there will always be some degrees of rhythmic subtlety that I cannot hear at all.
Luckily, making stuff is usually just a matter of finding the overlap between things you like and things you can probably manage to pull off. So when I think about pop architecture, I think about the creepy frigidity of the Paris Sisters. And quaaludes, and going a week without having a conversation with anyone, and waltzes, and handheld recorders, and making soup out of melted crayons. - Angela Sawyer (from album liner notes)
