I began composing works which were imitative of the music I was being told about. I was also very interested in translating the music into visual terms.
I'm crass, contemptuous and crude, obstreperous, obnoxious, rambunctiously raw and rude.
A good producer brings out the best in the artist he's working with. You shouldn't be able to listen to something and say, 'So-and-so produced this album.'
