I like to foreshadow, and components come and go because the music progresses. It’s an artwork in itself to maintain somebody’s consideration for an prolonged time frame. The artwork is the artwork. The monitor is the monitor. If it’s three minutes, nice! If it’s 18 minutes, nice! That’s what it ought to be.”
