I imagine that as contemporary music goes on changing in the way that I'm changing it what will be done is to more and more completely liberate sounds from abstract ideas about them and more and more exactly to let them be physically uniquely themselves.

What you're doing by being yourself is you're keeping it real, and you're being really brave.
