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

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.

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.

Unfortunately I've gotten more resistance in the last year than I ever have.

With the mailorder, I wake up in the morning, I check my e-mail, process the orders, and then I just print everything out. And then for the rest of the day it's actually sitting with paper.

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.
