I want to change peoples' minds about music, I want to bring the really brutal experimental stuff to peoples' attention.

People have often assumed that for music to be emotionally powerful it has to come directly from a human hand, whereas I disagree with that, and enjoy proving these people wrong. This project is an excellent way of exploring that area more.

I’m not that interested in what people make of it, or how people consider me. That’s nothing to do with me.

My father had a phase of having jukeboxes all over the house. He was a music lover but he was also into musical machinery. Not instruments, he was never interested in playing particularly but there would be these odd objects, like valve amplifiers being dismantled on the kitchen table. My mum wasn't massively keen on that, but it was part of the environment.

I'd say that it's important for music to be there that gives you a challenge, that rearranges things in your head.

I think the best way is to forget about racing people and just find territory that's fresh.

I have a rough idea when I walk into a studio though.
