"Kenji and I are brothers. Brothers fight. We haven't spoken in six months, but that’s not because of anger. It’s because we are both becoming who we need to be separately so we can come back together stronger. As for Void Noise…" He paused, choosing his words carefully. "Let’s just say that contracts expire, but art is forever. I own my masters now. Every single one."

"I delete more than I save," he confessed. "In the age of abundance, we forget that art is subtraction. A sculptor doesn't create the statue. He removes everything that is not the statue."
