Quotes
Revolution #9 is probably the most skipped Beatles song of all time. Yet, for better or worse, I am inspired by that track, and similar attempts to bring Musique Concrete to the world of pop music.

There aren't enough cakes in rock: I want to rectify that. If it was good enough for The Rolling Stones for the sleeve of 'Let it Bleed', it's good enough for me. Maybe one day the Celtic Cakes Studio will be as famous as Delia Smith.
