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 rarely assess live shows after I play them.

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 see someone play, or I listen to a record, and I think, "How did they make that sound?' It's not emulation; it's more building a vocabulary that can be called up at a moment's notice.

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

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'?
