Q063: In the past, you've said that you didn't envision Acid Mothers Temple as an ongoing project. Yet, almost five years after the debut on PSF the band is still going strong with multiple releases last year alone. What made you decide to change your mind?
A063: Acid Mothers Temple has become an entity possessed of its own independent will. Of course it was us who set up Acid Mothers Temple, but somehow, without us being aware of it, it has ceased to do what we want and it has transformed (or grown?) into something with its own will. This entity has enough power to suck in our bassist Tsuyama, Yoshida Tatsuya from Ruins, Ichiraku Yoshimitsu (Doravideo), Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth from Gong, and Mani Neumeier from Gong. All we can do is obey its commands, heading wherever it wants to take us. We have no way of knowing where that destination might be.
