From New Music Box
Interview By: Trevor Hunter
(Excerpt)

"And it's completely based on that ever-changing landscape of sound. There's always these breakdowns, these upward and downward moments, rather than there just being crescendo beats—I've done that, and I can do it again, and again, and again. I just decided to do something different, and not these certain structures and formulas that I've already hit on. It's like, let me just depart from that for a minute. And, you know, it's not the end of the world, man. It's just a record. Just music. I was doing an interview yesterday where the guy was like, "Well, for this to be just one long piece, parts are brash, they just change!" Yeah man, like, you ever listen to punk rock? Brash moments do happen. And I'm sorry for that, but it's still a continuum-type record.

And I think that's the confusion of it all. They're like, "this guy's trying to be like J-Dilla!" And it's like, no, I'm not trying to be J-Dilla. "This guy's trying to be MadLib." No, not that either. It's not me trying to be somebody. If I was just trying to make a beat tape, you could refer to Extinguished, which was more songs in a less amount of time that was treated completely different. And that was completed in 2002. This record is obviously more of an ode to tape music and interwoven prog processes. The indexes and IDs, all that stuff is irrelevant. I guess somebody was searching for a single on there, but I certainly wasn't. This was a record that I put a lot of labor into, and so did the person that helped me out, my boy Roberto Lange. For it to be written off as something that it isn't is a bummer, but what are you going to do?" - Guillermo S. Herren
