“I spend a lot of time practicing active imagination before I go to sle...” — Jeff Mangum Quote

I spend a lot of time practicing active imagination before I go to sleep. What I'm feeling will manifest as images through active imagination. And then I go to sleep, and those play out even more in my dreams.

I have a very limited knowledge of recording, but the miracle of being able to capture sounds on magnetic tape and the miracle of electricity, and these little magnetic particles, is amazing to me.

I'm very influenced by the circus. A lot of the dreams that I have, I'm in the circus.

I made a record of montage sounds in '99 under the name Korena Pang, but it was never put out because it didn't do it for me.

I decided at 10 I wanted to be in a band; everyone else wanted to play football.

For all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams.

Today, among little girls especially, princesses and the romanticised ideal they represent - finding the man of your dreams - have a limited shelf life.

No one may speak for the dead, no one may interpret their mutilated dreams and visions.

My period days didn't make me falter: they made me more determined to pursue my dreams.

Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.
