The rules of thumb with which we approached our music: Repeating a musical phrase the same way twice needs a hell of a better reason than a-a-b-a form. Never do anything confused that can be done simple. Never do anything dull that can be done interesting.
“People die because they remain where they are, so perhaps eternal life is travel is forgetting. Limits, it might be, are precisely what make traveling and forgetting, and consequently immortality, possible, because those limits are also what prevent me from ever reaching the end of the world forever and ever, ahem.”
