Steven Wilson quotes:

I've been making Bass Communion music longer than any kind of other music. I don't know if you picked up a copy of a vinyl release I put out a couple of years ago of something called Altamont...

We lost the skyline We stepped right off the map Drifted into black space And let the clocks relapse.

You've got a lot pulling at your time already - which may be the best reason to start cultivating your green thumb.

Every Bass Communion track is based on a single sound source. Increasingly I find that I'm really interested in taking a particular sound and it's almost like solving a problem. If I have a sound, the problem is how can I create a piece of music from this one sound source?

Gardening can be a compelling cooperative activity. Your best harvest may be the pleasure you get from working with family and friends. There's never a shortage of things to do, no limit to the lessons that can be learned, especially for children, and there's always plenty of credit to go around, even for the mistakes.

It was a bit of fun. But of course like anything that starts as a joke, people started to take it all seriously!
