I think if people have more of an understanding of what I'm doing, then they'll appreciate it and get into it more.

Records can ruin you. That's why it's important to be as intimately familiar as possible with the history of recorded music, I guess. In a way, it's an argument for record collecting.

I became this guy that does drum programming, and I don't want to be that guy anymore. I don't want to sit in front of my computer for 18 hours programming 16 bars of music.

I don't want to rewrite history.

I build the individual modules to meet a demand. If I need the music to change direction, I want to have the tools to be able to do that.

I can only stand to sit in front of my computer for three or four hours a day. Otherwise it can get really soul-sucking.

The computer does things that can't be done with hardware, like freezing sounds.
