I started out being quite an eclectic composer, not quite sure where to fit in. I tried my hand a bit at everything, except perhaps music with lyrics.
I'm not commercial, I'm not for Special K cereal and I'm not a Wheaties boy; I'm a little bit more avant-garde, a little bit more out there.
I like films that are edgy, provocative, non-formula and original.
My tendency is to be very experimental.
My music puts people in a dreamy mood. It's edgy. It's nuanced. I get annoyed when people say it's R&B because it's not that simple. I call it futuristic soul.
I don't really want to make a stylized film or anything too surreal.
The only sort of descriptive adjective or catch phrase for my music would be 'eclectic.'
We have always wanted to write songs and be experimental in that way.
I am a commercial hero, and I will never leave that genre. And having an image of a mass hero, I will spoil the whole script in the wake of being too experimental.
David Harrington, who's the violinist and founder of Kronos, is a super open-minded and adventurous guy.
I didn't go to film school; I studied fine art - I learned how to be a filmmaker on everybody else's money.
At the end, we brought her to New York, where I was living, for a series of experimental tortures that increased the misery of her days without increasing the number of them.
When I think of trap, I think of something that is unrehearsed. It's something that's edgy, not too well put together.
I think 'The Stage' is kind of left field.
Experimental high energy physics research is a group effort. I have been very fortunate to have had outstanding students and colleagues who have made invaluable contributions to the research with which I have been associated.
Ben Wheatley continues to be one of the most original voices in contemporary film.
And I think that we're more of an alternative act in that sense, and that flavor comes across to the audience.
I'm experimental by nature... always exploring my creativity.
Don't let tradition paralyze your mind. Be receptive to new ideas. Be experimental. Try new approaches. Be progressive in everything you do.
The Yale group was doing the Harold. So by our senior year we were trying to do the Harold. Again, we had no idea what we were doing. We had one guy in the group who was pretty experimental; he would kind of push us to do weird things. It was really fun, a great experience.
I hope people describe my music as lyrically driven, cross genre. Kind of alternative, kind of indie, kind of rap, kind of everything.
There's a couple of tracks on the new record which is sort of using similar sort of rhythms as the drum and bass tracks but playing it all live. It's a new approach to it.
I like playful beats, xylophones, whimsical sounds of Bobby Johnson productions.
I say most of my music is very trial-and-error.
I'm never trying to be commercial or accessible, or saying "let's do this weird stuff, but at the same time we gotta do this safe stuff".
