Igloo : Virtual Mechanics In An Alien World :: Q & A with Richard Devine (09/2003)

"I purposely stayed away from traditional instrumentation and traditional compositional writing to create something new and out of context. I wanted to push my sound in new ways and to push my own creative goals to new heights." >> Richard Devine.

RD: Well, I guess my final thought would be to just stick with it, if you're trying to make any form of art whether it is visual arts, graphic design, or musical composition. I think it's important to never give up on your artistic vision no matter how strange it might be. There were times when I thought no one would understand what I was trying to create, but I soon realized that it had place in the world and that many listeners could learn from my creations. And if you're just listening then I hope you listen with an open mind. I guess I have to say thank you to my mom who has totally supported me since day one. I don't I would have gotten as far as I have without her support. I also have to thank my girlfriend and close friends for putting up with all my crazy shit. Especially my girlfriend who has said many times that I was the strangest person she has ever met.

Asect:Dsect will be released October 7th, 2003 on Schematic/Asphodel. The Schematic Fall 2003 Tour is also underway starting in October.
