The internet becomes too arch. The clip is uploaded and reuploaded endlessly with banner headlines and crappy 3-D graphics. Stuff rots in this supposedly clinical space.

Making music is a total hassle, really.

I hope nobody I wrote about becomes too upset.

When I've got massive projects to be getting on with, I find myself open to distractions, particularly when deadlines are involved.

I love playing piano, too, but I don't sit around doing it all day. Part of that's because I don't have one in my house - I only have synths.

I'm a bit of a control freak, so I always appreciate being inside the nuts and bolts of the music - I don't like newer programs that paper over your cracks.

Usually I'm only using my instruments when I'm recording or playing a gig.
