Fuck knowing what you're doing. I think it's the most harmful thing ever, because you can't advance as an artist if you know what you're doing. Some of my favorite artists don't even know what they're doing very clearly, and they're great. The only way you can learn is by making mistakes, however cliché it sounds, but it's true. I've learned so much from making bullshit.
I think that not knowing what I'm doing has also allowed me to distance myself from people that pretend that they know what they're doing. Distancing myself from these people has been very important for my own well-being, as well as not involving myself in certain communities. I do not believe that they are beneficial for these genres as a whole, especially breakcore and drum and bass.
I've now, quite obviously, shifted my focus to IDM. In doing this, I have also presented these errors that I previously disliked in my music as the main focus, as well as created my own aesthetic and my own style that's completely unique to me. Everything I make is intentional, and every little detail was intentional. I think that's beautiful—way more beautiful than what anyone else is doing in this horrible, horrible, horrible scene.
I am creating anti-art by presenting my lack of talent as actual talent when I have none.
These are very old things I need to say to get off my chest so that people will understand.
I also believe that people need to take themselves less seriously and make shit for themselves, not for others. The only way you can advance music is by experimenting with things that may not sound good but, in the end, result in something far more interesting.
