A universe of thoughts: Escher's Loops, Picasso's cubism, Da Vinci's notes, Michelangelo's proportions, surrealism; HHTGGT, Infinite Jest, Sci-fi, Cyberpunk novels; George Carlin, Kurt Vonnegut, Odes and Sonnets, Keats, Shakespeare; Beethoven, Bach and Vivaldi; Sigur Ros, Mogwai, Opeth, Tool and all the progressives and MDMs; Solipsism and hope that we are not alone, Hard Determinism, illusions of choice and Existentialism to thwart despair; hypotheses on Life, the Universe and Everything, love and the fall of math, the transcending of logic; Human Cognition and Perception, Psychology, AI; mama's love, Kids at Tianenman Sq., Freedom Riders and Mahatma Gandhi, strength, faith and all those feelings ideas get high on; Endless skies, stars and an orby night, Lucid dreams, memories of hide and seek, running and catching, School and the little stupid kids we were, curious explorers; pride and the stumble; KASHMIR, perhaps Iceland ?, Alaska ? and such ineffable beauty; Computer Games, chess and Tal's gambits; the 'ah-ha' after solving a hard problem, the 'bingo !' on making a machine learn;
An undying obsession to make an audience feel my work in their nerve-endings, an undying obsession to feel it in mine when alone;
An insatiable curiosity to understand the universe within, the universe without and beyond.
Thoughts and thoughts I am, with thoughts and thoughts all around....
