I'm big on simplicity. I'm not too much on all the extra instruments.
I'm often guilty of overcooking and too much arrangement and throwing too much at it. But I think as I get older, I'm learning better when to be empty and when to be full.
I generally hate the luxury modern apartment with too many things out of sight and so clean you cannot touch.
'Agnivarsha' is not a costume drama like Shashi Kapoor's 'Utsav' or Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Devdas.' This one has no elaborate jewellery and clothes. It is sparse and stark.
I don't like a lot of frills and fusses.
I'm pretty bland. I'm not a big decorator.
I keep things pretty simple.
My palate is simpler than it used to be. A young chef adds and adds and adds to the plate. As you get older, you start to take away.
I love the word 'dearth,' by the way. It's one of my favorite words.
Less is a bore.
Partial culture runs to the ornate, extreme culture to simplicity.
It's not what you play but what you leave out that makes the difference.
Post-minimalism implies music that's genre-less. Minimalism was very important because it came at a time when contemporary music had become so complex, so experimental and detached that people turned away from it. Minimalism broke that trend and brought music back to the people.
Designing a game can be like a Japanese garden. It's not what you put in but how much you take away.
As for minimalism, I don't care, don't care, don't care to repeat myself, repeat myself.
Warmth isn't what minimalists are thought to have.
It's amazing to me how often the answer to making something sound better is to play something less.
In a minimal interior, what you don't do is as important as what you do.
The best artists know what to leave out.
