“Driving and music are probably the most important things in my musical education: sitting in the back of my dad’s car at night. It was a filmscape to me, it was beautifully lit and the dashboard was magical, some pirate station was on the radio and that was everything to me.”

“I think we all felt from the beginning that if it was just an experiment that produced an experimental result and that was it then it was going to be a failure. It needed to arouse emotions, as music does.”

“Responsive music presents the musician with completely new freedoms of expression. It allows them to design ‘experiences’ for listeners, which are contextual to the listener’s environment, their activity and their behaviour.”
