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

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.

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 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.

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.
