“Yes, that was another very important full stop for me, actually. In fact, that was the most valuable one, because a particular incident happened while I was convalescing. (That's when I got this scar, actually, from that accident.) A friend of mine came over to see me, and I was confined to bed, I couldn’t move. But as she left she said, ‘Shall I put a record on?’ And I said please. And she put a record on, and then left. The record was much too quiet. But I couldn’t reach to turn it up. And it was raining outside, and so – it was a record of 18th century harp music, I remember. And so I lay there at first kind of frustrated by this situation. But then I started listening to the rain, and listening to these odd notes of the harp that were just loud enough to be heard above the rain. And this was a great musical experience for me, and I suddenly thought of this idea of making music that didn’t impose itself on your space in the same way, but created a sort of landscape that you could belong to, you could be part of. And this, I called this – I pompously gave it a new name, which I called ‘ambient music.’ And it became – something I no longer recognize.”
