Balance Quote by Jonny Greenwood

“I was just very conscious that I could either bore people by having the music be similar for too long, or I could just wear them out and bore them in a different way by having it changing too much every minute or two minutes. So, there was that kind of balance to get right.” quote by Jonny Greenwood — Download Open image
