    But I did want to do something that satisfied all aspects of what I wanted to do; like make it experimental pop music and still have aspects of noise, dissonance and rhythmic complexity that are appropriate, and I think should be within pop music.

About 1:45 in, still watching, but I think this quickly paraphrased quote is seriously vital. Too much experimental music doesn't have any balance whatsoever -- it either errs on the side of boredom, seen-it-before tripe, or forays out into a no man's land of chaos that doesn't invite your brain to listen along with a relative minimum of effort.
