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 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 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 grew up in a small village close to a big lake. There are heavy winds there, and they always sound different. I like these sounds best.

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.
