” …. More important is the mental stimulation, the spice of variety, as it were. The questions of which instrument or which style of music is preferred are unanswerable. I enjoy music that is barely audible and I enjoy music that makes my ears ring and I would go crazy if I had to focus on one or the other. And what a collection of people I have been introduced to! Music has taken me to strange and wonderful places, and I am sure that many of the social microcosms I have traversed will never cross each other’s paths. I have become privy to more ideology than I care to absorb, but piece by piece, I absorb, react, reject, and accept. If there is one thing I hope to retain, it is curiosity. It is easy in this day and age, with worries of income, the drudgery of business, and the pain of excessive travel, to forget why one became interested in music in the first place. Despite any misgivings, as a musician in the 21st century I would be hard-pressed to ever find myself bored. The appetite I have been awarded and the unreasonable goals I have set are enough to remind me why I chose music, and that cannot be put into words.”

Trevor Dunn, “For and Against Technique” from Arcana II: Musicians on Music
