"This record is, in a way, similar to Dome’s 1 + 2. Yet Tod Dockstader is more classical, electronic tape music, I love him. And this is all stuff I was listening to before I was 20 years old. I ate it all up in fast forward, like rapid fire. I was in record shops all the time and reading whatever I could, discovering things like this. I was scouring record catalogues and just came across it, just like how I found most of the records I really love."

"What an amazing artist! She is the first woman that I was ever introduced to that played classical piano and melded it with her own style and emotions! I think the whole world should know and respect Nina Simone as I believe she is one of the absolute GREATS! The song 'Sinnerman' on this record is one of my all time favorites and whenever I hear her music, it reminds me to be as different, and skillful, and brave that I can be. And this song is the best way to feel this way."
