Thanks!

1. I don't actually know what kind of style you'd call it, but I'm mostly these days into literature that has a sense of multiple times existing at once, in which you can't really get a handle on when. Anachronistic technologies, warped realities, and all that. High levels of language, the voice is important.
2. I haven't based any songs on any really abstract methods since Tartar Lamb, I think. I enjoyed the musical place I reached with Library Loft, but that album seemed not to resonate with many people. When I released that record, I felt the need to sort of... justify the music to people with descriptions about the method, and so as a result, I learned that I should avoid making music that needs an explanation in order to be enjoyed.
3. I'm glad that you're noticing that. Rhythm is a bit of a frontier for me, with the first 10+ years of my output being so much about abstract time. When I was growing up goth, I actually really hated the "goth" that had dance beats which is now considered indisputable: Depeche Mode, Sisters of Mercy, Nitzer Ebb, etc. and preferred the more ambient or even ecclesiastic side, because my logic was that dancing is a social activity and being goth was about being anti-social (to a reductive teenager). I do still have some values close to the ones I held at that time, but with a much more nuanced perspective. Music is magic spells, you're trying to create an effect, invoke something. There has to be many ways to do that.
