Composition is a way of living out your philosophy and calling it art.

I don't live in the past at all; I'm always wanting to do something new. I make a point of constantly trying to forget and get things out of my mind.

People tend to play in their comfort zone, so the best things are achieved in a state of surprise, actually.

I've got a feeling that music might not be the most interesting place to be in the world of things.

There is a sort of convergence starting to happen between the computer and musical instruments, but it's still quite a long way off.

In terms of what has been happening recently, there have been, I think, some really interesting new instruments that have come out that sort of show me the direction of the future. Korg has introduced the - they've had a whole series now of these things called Kaoss Pads. They're wonderful because they do get your muscles working again. And what DJs do, of course, with their DJ turntables now, the CD turntables, which have pitch change and speed change and everything else. They're doing something that I think is interestingly physical.

Make an exhaustive list of everything you might do & do the last thing on the list.
