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 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.

I've got a bunch of circuit-bent boxes and things that are controlled by my Mac through a big breakout box. I want to create this total environment where I can bring all this gear to the show but maybe just use one or two elements, if that's what's called for.

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

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.

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