* "“Para-Noir” for example, which I think was one of the more strange experiments in music. I held an audition of several dozen girls, and I wanted to make a song that reflected the manufactured word “para-noir,” which was meant to represent excessive darkness and the paranoia of trust. I had girls come in and say whatever they wanted to. I wanted them to let out their deepest, darkest feelings on why they fuck people, whether that is metaphorically or literally. The only requirement was to begin the sentence in that way and they could say whatever they want. The song then became a photomontage of music. Every word in some cases is cut from a different person - maybe it was because of the breath or the way they accented certain consonants. It’s all of these people expressing these strange reasons and sometimes, in the fashion of directing a film, I had to motivate them. Sometimes the lights were out, sometimes the lights were on, sometimes they were naked, sometimes clothed, and sometimes some of them knew who I was, some of them had no idea. None of them were people I was friends with or even instructed that this was part of a song, just that it was part of an experiment. The most interesting responses are the ones that were compiled on the record." <ref>MM - [[Interview:2003/07 Outburn|Outburn Interview]]</ref> | * "“Para-Noir” for example, which I think was one of the more strange experiments in music.
