There's a lot of melancholy in my tracks.

That's just globalization. It's got good sides as well. But scenes aren't allowed to develop on their own anymore. Everyone knows about everything.

I used to love jungle. I still think it's the ultimate genre, really, because the people making it weren't musicians.

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.

My filing system's really crap because I can never decide whether to sort things by studio, or year, or where I lived.

A lot of composers before me have been on this mission to change the world by getting off equal temperament, and I'm definitely one of those.

When I look at commercial studios, I think, "Oh, they're all so nice and tidy," but it's because they don't actually write music in them.
