Quite an inspiring interview with Paul Woolford (from 2017).

"The human race has no chance. We are inconsequential in the grand scheme. So go full-pelt and let’s just see what emerges. And if we, by some accident of chance, create something that sounds or looks great, well it’s a touch. Francis Bacon would have a painting almost 80-90% finished, get back from being on the piss all afternoon, throw a blob of paint at the canvas and in that split-second, that would decide the fate of the piece. Sometimes the act of throwing the paint would land on the canvas in such a way that it completed and locked in the form. Most of the time it ruined the painting and he then destroyed the canvases. To take such a chance means that he is looking for something else, something out of the ordinary. You only find things out of the ordinary by keeping up the process of work. So as much as I say it’s an accident, the conditions were designed and in the right place. What’s the expression? Inspiration finds you working. You’re not gonna get anything done if you’re not in the room trying."
