The film industry is moving towards digital technology.
I thought my Beatles LPs sounded pretty good on a record player, but that was before I had heard a CD.
I don't like the way recording to digital sounds.
I've seen a study in the last year that digital sound actually induces stress in the listener.
I think that George Lucas' 'Star Wars' films are fantastic. What he's done, which I admire, is he has taken all the money and profit from those films and poured it into developing digital sound and surround sound, which we are using today.
You have to have a certain amount of grit in your sound, and having real synths and talking certain elements outside your computer can help with this.
Digital sound is damaging music; it's damaging the artists. It's so degrading.
With digital sound just becomes simply information, not the sum of its parts.
I've never been able to arouse any interest in myself for digitally produced sound, and so the computer turns me off.
Vinyl is democratic, as surely as the iPod is fascist. Vinyl is representational: It has a face. Two faces, in fact, to represent the dualism of human nature. Vinyl occupies physical space honestly, proud as a fat woman dancing.
Electronic music used pure sounds, completely calibrated. You had to think digitally, as it were, in a way that allowed you to extend serial ideas into other parameters through technology.
