Arto Lindsay

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“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.”

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