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 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.

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 studied ethnomusicology for a while, but I don't think that really influenced my music.

I don't release many records just as "Fennesz," so when I do, I want to plan everything in detail. It's not that I want to really lead the listener somewhere; it's more about me being satisfied with a project.
