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.

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

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 grew up with rock and pop music from the 70s and 80s. I had to play guitar in school - it was a music college and we had to take instrument classes there - so I think guitar playing and guitar sounds have always been an influence.

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.

I hate the idea of repeating myself. I need new perspectives and challenges for each project, and I'm very happy that many people are able to follow me without any problem.

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.
