"I AM VERY INTERESTED IN THE WAY IN WHICH ONE CAN HAVE A CERTAIN DISTURBING OR TRAUMATIC BEAUTY, A FORM OF SUBLIME. IT INTRODUCES A CREATIVE DISSONANCE THAT HAS SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH BLUES -- I OFTEN THINK ABOUT HOW A LOT OF BLACK MUSIC HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED THROUGH WHAT ARE SOMETIMES QUITE DIFFICULT AND PAINFUL EXPERIENCES AND HOW THAT WAY OF COMMUNICATING HAS A CERTAIN SUBLIMITY TO IT."
-- ISAAC JULIEN
