Time Zone Quotes

Sometimes, but I usually write off keyboard. I’ll either program in drum parts, or usually Accordions or stringed instruments or wacky Oboes, those kind of things, because I can tune in finer with them to the way I write.

John Lydon

I prefer the freeform of playing things, playing real instruments, even if they be toilet rolls, whatever, they are real things, and when you’re just putting it all through a computer it’s not real, it’s a substitute... Computers limit all that, they take a lot of the sound out, they have to ‘cos it’s mathematical, and I’m sorry I don’t live in a mathematical world (laughs), I’m not a load of zeros and ones! I like the bit in between, and there is a space between a zero and a one that a computer will not understand, and fuck off to quantising! I find the technology side of things too fucking limited I can’t write and sing the way I feel to ‘blick-blick-blick’, it’s just not possible...
