Muzique Magazine. How do you feel about the present state of the music industry?
Koota Tanimura. Too much loudness with too much limiting with too much compressed sound and too much Justin Bieber things. I knew That’s necessary, unstoppable power inflation for MP3 playlist. And they have had long history that’s unrewindable.
