I love collecting; my joy is finding private press American or European home studio electronic music from the 60s and 70s.

I'm a real big electronic music nut; when I was young I listened to musique concrète, German music from Cologne in the early 50s, all kinds of stuff.

I think Pro Tools is pretty analogous to how people composed music on tape back in the 70s, taking little fragments of things and saying, 'How can we organize these in a sensible way'?

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

I don't want to rewrite history.

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.
