“There was an electric buzzing sound that was constantly on, acting as background music like a million cicadas in the forest. A constant white noise.”

“In every country is a word which attempts the sound of cats, to match an inisolable portrait in the clouds to a din in the air. But the constant noise is not an omen of music to come.”

“I try to be like a forest: revitalizing and constantly growing.”

“Perspective [is] a luxury when your head [is] constantly buzzing with a swarm of demons.”

“You leave white people alone in constant isolation for 2,000 years, and you know what their musical contribution will be? Riverdance!”

“It was very quiet here on the mountainside,but, quiet in the of hills and forests. A quiet that wasn't silent at all, but composed of constant tiny sounds. It was small buzzing in the gorse bush nearby, of bees working the yellow flowers -dusty with pollen, far below was the rushing of the burn, a low note echoing the wind above stirring leaves and rattling twigs sighing past the jutting boulders.”
