I wanted to use the studio like a microscope for sound, which is what good engineers do.

Genius is individual, scenius is communal.

Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences.

In England and Europe, we have this huge music called ambient - ambient techno, ambient house, ambient hip-hop, ambient this, ambient that.

When I went back to England after a year away, the country seemed stuck, dozing in a fairy tale, stifled by the weight of tradition.

If you had a sign above every studio door saying ‘This Studio is a Musical Instrument’ it would make such a different approach to recording.

Most of those melodies are me trying to find out what notes fit, and then hitting ones that don't fit in a very interesting way.
