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.

It's funny, because I'm so associated with digital art and computer art, and yet I spend so little time in front of the computer.

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.

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

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'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.
