El numero de enero de la revista Wire publica una entrevista en la que Rowe dice cosas tan interesantes para entender mejor la música contemporánea como lo que sigue:
I think one of the difficulties with so-called abstract music is the difficulty one has with abstract painting, the problem of affectation. When you look at a de Kooning you don't have a feeling of affectation, whereas with other lesser paintings you definitely do. Sometimes it's a question of overstylisation, but the actual work becomes affected. Using a radio, for example, is more complex than we realise. It's not just a question of turning it on. There's the appropriateness of the content, the actual tonal quality, the fabric of the voice and how it work in context. It has to have meaning and yet be transparent. Just because you're using hiss on a radio doesn't mean to say you shouldn't use it with the same exquisite care as if you were playing first violin in a Shostakovich string quartet. What we do now with licks and hisses is just the latest episode in centuries of music.
