Daniel O’ Sullivan (Mothlite)

SPB: How do you find the time for so many different projects?

O'Sullivan: I don't find the time because time doesn't exist. It's always now. Right now I'm answering this question, before that I was assembling an Ikea bookshelf, these are projects and they're always happening now unless they're not happening and in that context they don't exist. If I feel overstretched it's because my head is in some abstract concept of the past or the future, neither of which exist in an absolute reality. For me, music belongs to an absolute reality, so whether it's a new Grumbling Fur record or the sound of worms writhing around in the chamber of my skull, time is rarely a factor.
