“Literary science fiction is a very, very narrow band of the publishing business. I love science fiction in more of a pop-culture sense.

“I don't really think of these as projects. I think of them as bands. I have tried to not just convene a group of musicians and make one record or make one gig and just drop it. Each of them develop over time. I have been really fortunate to keep a band like the Sextet together over three very different albums. Each time, the goal got more deep for me in terms of how I wanted to write for those people.

“That's always attractive to me, to work with music whose form is a big question mark. Even many of my favorite bands growing up, when I was just a kid learning to play drums and guitar and everything, were bands like Pink Floyd, where the arrangement, the number of bars in each section is unconventional and often lopsided, and there will be small little instrumental interludes and that sort of thing. So those odd forms, as well as dark content, are the things that I think are continuous through all the type of projects that I've been attracted to.” ThinkingWellsLittlesPlayBigsKidsFormDarkNumbersGrowing UpGrowingTypeBandProjectsMarkGuitarMy FavoriteBarsOddAttractiveArrangementsSectionsBig QuestionsUnconventionalQuestion MarkFavorite Bands Author:Charlie Clouser
