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.

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 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.

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.

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