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 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.

Unfortunately I've gotten more resistance in the last year than I ever have.

I rarely assess live shows after I play them.

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 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.
