It's only interesting when you're from somewhere else, like America or Japan. The further away the more interesting it is.

The holy grail for a music fan, I think, is to hear music from another planet, which has not been influenced by us whatsoever.

I've always got to change something. All the tracks I've done in the last five years were made in like six different studios. It gets a bit complicated.

it's more interesting for me to stick things out anonymously. You get more of an honest reaction to what you've done.

I actually prefer it if I don't know what I'm supposed to do. If you've got an equal temperament piano keyboard, then you know what you're going to get if you play certain chords. But I actually like it if you don't know where the notes are, because then you do it intuitively. You're working out a new language, basically. New rules.

The holy grail for a music fan is to hear music from another planet, which has not been influenced by us whatsoever. Or, even better, from lots of different planets. The closest we got to that was before the Internet, when people didn't know of each other's existence. Now, that doesn't really happen.

It's really funny, because if you make up words, then people project their own meanings onto it, which I find interesting.
