It’s important to have an optimistic attitude when you’re an experimental musician. Because sometimes, despite our best efforts, the music experiment doesn’t work. But we can’t sit around feeling bad about that. We have to just say “Oh well, doesn’t matter. The music experiment will work next time!”

Exactly. The only thing in life that was ever guaranteed for success was the Easy Bake Oven. And that was some brave inventor’s mad experiment. (Frank) 😉
