Like associates with like.
Gross things sound funny and set people up to listen to something a little uninviting.
Galleries are becoming overwhelmed with psychedelic musicart. I like it; it's a good direction, a new blurring of the lines between what you do.

You can't be both a painter and a musician and master anything. You can't. And live a life.
Words, for me, don't have as much contextual leeway as sound.
