The most scarce resource we have these days is the idea.

When you say what is the difference between me and my stage name the idea is that as a musician you always think of yourself as inhabiting a certain cultural space in the kind of a cultural landscape, so when I say cultural space what I mean to imply there is that you exist within certain parameters of how people think of culture.

What I wanted to try and figure out was, okay, in contemporary 21st century life the alienation between the self and the land around you or the self and even the urban landscape. You name it.

So yeah, how do I think of my environment and what happens with sound art? I love to play with the idea of elusive and intangible things. That could be psychological. It could be perceptual. It could be just the way your ears help you just navigate around.

The easiest thing I can say is simple, but paradoxical in this era of total sampling: Be original.

I think that electronic music mirrors the complexity of "information landscapes." You carry the terrain in your mind.

You're only as good as your record collection.
