Arto Lindsay

“Brazil gave me a sense of melody and rhythm that I didn't have before.”

“I feel like I'm a good guitar player, but I'm not a good musician.”

“I've always been interested in what happens when you combine things that don't seem to belong together.”

“In a way, my whole career has been about trying to find a balance between abstraction and accessibility.”

“The voice is the most direct instrument.”

“For me, the guitar is a noise-making machine.”

“I always liked music that was both beautiful and ugly.”

“DNA was about deconstruction. We were trying to take rock music apart and see what it was made of.”

“I'm interested in the way that sound and culture are related.”

“Noise is not a negative thing. It's a form of expression.”
