You just make different music on a computer. And you can make wonderful music on a computer, but don't pretend that the machinery is transparent. It makes as much difference to what you're doing as it does if you play an acoustic guitar as opposed to a kettledrum. You're not going to make the same music.

Repetition doesn't really exist

My lyrics are generated by various peculiar processes. Very random and similar to automatic writing.

I think generally playing live is a crap idea. So much of stage work is the presentation of personality, and I've never been interested in that.

I enjoy working with complicated equipment. A lot of my things started just with a rhythm box, but I feed it through so many things that what comes out sounds very complex and rich.

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

It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.
