“I'm a filmmaker, but my working procedures are different. All my basic structuring is done during the filming.

“I like to go for a certain over-the-top opulence when naming the drone pieces whereas the song titles are all about concision, I guess.

“When modernist poetry, or what not so long ago passed for modernist poetry, can reach the stage where the following piece by Mr. Ezra Pound is seriously offered as a poem, there is some justification for the plain reader and orthodox critic who shrinks from anything that may be labelled 'modernist' either in terms of condemnation or approbation.
