In fact, when we go to the theatre, when we read a novel, when we go to a gallery, when we watch a dance, I think we're learning about important things when we do those things. And We're still playing, actually. We just give that kind of playing a different name. We call it art. It's a sort of simulator. The reason you have flight simulators is because you want to be able to crash.

And I think art is very often a simulator in that way. You can experience what an unhappy marriage is like. by reading about it, without having to have an unhappy marriage. You can experience the terror in revolutionary France without having to have your head chopped off. If you can, do it first in art and then give it a try in real life. Yes, yes. That's maybe the best advice of all.

Okay, so I'll tell you first of all the kind of physical difference between the two records. The first one, Luminal, is a group of songs. The second one, Lateral, is a single long piece. It's more like a space, as I always think about with ambient music. It's a place that you go to. I like to think of these pieces of music as feelings that you go into.

I notice that when I want to sit down to write, for example, I wanted to listen to something, but nothing seemed to be right. I wanted something that was just a nice sonic condition. In the same way, perhaps, that you might adjust the lighting in a room. What's the musical equivalent of that? What would a music be that was like that? And on the first ambient...

record that or the first record that i called ambient i said the music should be as ignorable as it is interesting so i wanted it i want to make a kind of music that you could surrender to or ignore and when you ignored it it shouldn't demand your attention

I think there is, and I think it lies in the particular nature of sound that you're working with. From the 20th century onwards, we have a huge, huge palette, new ways of making sound that produce new types of sound that nobody ever, ever heard before. And so I think a lot of composition now is an experiment with trying to digest all of those new sonic possibilities.

If you think, for instance, about the other pole of ambient music, I always think is heavy metal. So it's another form of immersive music. It's, of course, in terms of feeling quite different from ambient music generally, but I still think it is a kind of ambient music. It's a bath of sound. I've seen heavy metal music being recorded, so I can tell you this.
