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.

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 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 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.

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

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.

I rarely assess live shows after I play them.
