I've never really been that much of a fan of Ninja Tune.

One of the more distant concerns is with the visual interpretation of the music. I find it fascinating but I don't always particularly get involved with it.

There's a really rough and relatively consistent hierarchy of concerns. My musical interests come first and principally my fascination with how notes and rhythms interlock. Then comes the technical side like programming, instruments and designing instruments. Next is production and mixing and beyond that I start to care less.

I'm starting to play all the melodies with kind of keyboard sound but playing it from the bass guitar.

One of those things that I find hard to dispose of is my attitude to album sequencing, the layout of the pieces.

My plan is if you come to the shows in the first run of dates the versions you'll hear live are quite close to the record. But because I can set this up identically afterwards in a hotel room I can actually work when I'm on the move. The aim is that all the pieces will have had substantial remixes and different parts added and subtracted.

I couldn't find a group that wanted to do what I wanted to do. No one was really up for it.
