For me, noise is not something I use to shock, or because it's funny, or weird, or whatever. I use it because I find it beautiful.

It's true that laptop performances can be boring for the audience. The problem is, the organizers of events are still putting us on the classic "rock stage," instead of trying to find new ways to present the music.

I started playing guitar at the age of 8 or 9 years. Very early, and I was like already into pop music and was just trying to copy what I heard on the radio. And at a very early age I started experimenting with old tape recorders from my parents. I was 11 or 12 at that time and then when I was like 14 or 15 I had a punk band. I made all the classic rock musician's evolutions and then in the early nineties I bought my first sampler and that is how I got into electronic music, because I was able to produce it on my own. That was quite a relief.

I really don't want to become a "member" of a band anymore. I really enjoy having total control over my music and productions.

No more "band psycho" stuff for me. I'm fine without it.

I was really a big fan of Loveless. At [the time it came out], I made music that was not too far away from [what they were doing], but we were stuck in Austria. There was no way to get attention from the outside world. Maybe it's a generational thing.

For me, there is a strong hypnotic power in noise-music, and that's something I don't want to leave out of my music anymore.
