I don't want to rewrite history.

Records can ruin you. That's why it's important to be as intimately familiar as possible with the history of recorded music, I guess. In a way, it's an argument for record collecting.

I'm not a perfectionist by a long shot, but self-doubt is a large part of my creative process.

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 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'?

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.
