DON’T OVER DO IT!Obviously if you use your favourite sounds

and effects too much you’ll quickly tire of them and they’ll lose their allure.

But don’t be afraid to work with the sounds that really turn you on.

The BEST is yet to comeHow can we assume the best has already been

produced by our parents, grandparents, great grandparents etc generations?

Anyone assuming that the best had already been done in 1940 in the field of medical technology would have, in retrospect clearly been wrong.

I don't underestimate the past, I just have confidence in contemporary communities to explore areas in the arts that haven't even been imagined yet.
