I feel happier knowing a starting point came from me. And I like stuff that gives you a physical reaction.

Performances are so defined by their venues - it'd be nice for the music to dictate more of the reaction.

I try to listen to stuff that makes me happy for other reasons, rather than being musically inspiring.

I want to become less and less about the laptop. That's what's lovely about an orchestra - the physicality, the way every gesture relates to something you're hearing.

If I'm feeling confident, then I write confident, happy, or assured music. I can hear some early electronic sketches I did where I'm clearly not confident and everything's a bit mid-range, nothing really pushes through.

Quite often, when I describe to people what I want, I'll say "overwhelming" - I want it to feel like it's phy

There's something strange about a laptop, how you can make the tiniest gesture and make the biggest sound. I don't feel I've resolved working a sense of performance into a piece yet.
