I use a laptop more as a tool, as sort of the central artery. Everything goes through the digital audio card of my computer, but if I had my druthers I'd do everything in dedicated hardware.

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 rarely assess live shows after I play them.

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'?

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

I'm not a perfectionist by a long shot, but self-doubt is a large part of my creative process.

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