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

Human development thus far has been fueled and guided by the feeling that things could be, and are probably going to be, better.

Any constraint is part of the skeleton that you build the composition on - including your own incompetence.

I despise computers in many ways. I think they’re hopelessly underevolved and overrated.

I know that if I had a television in my flat I would convince myself that everything on it was really interesting. I would say, 'I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here!' is so sociologically fascinating that I think I'd better watch.

You feel as if you're not living a full life. Which, of course, is why - it's my theory about why so many people who are heavily into computers are also into extreme sports and S&M. It's because their bodies are crying out for some kind of action.
