Q005:
You say that sometimes you get members to send you their parts on tape, and then you put them together by "chance". Do you mean like a tape collage, or just by trying combinations and finding, by chance, an arrangement that works?
A005:
This is because I truly believe only in chance. I never try out things in advance or try different combinations. When I'm putting a track together, all I think about is picking parts that have the elements that come closest in image to the sounds I hear in my head. In this situation, sudden inspiration becomes the most important part of my work. (and this decides whether the final track is going to be good or bad). All I do then is roughly put it all together, and I believe that the resulting ensemble has already left my hands and is assembled by the cosmos (or God). All you need know is God. So I don't search for good arrangements - all I do is give thanks for the presents that God sends to me.
