I don't know how many records I'm selling.

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.

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.

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.

I'm trying to fly the flag for the days of electronic music where people who are making it are also building the gear because that was what was happening in the very early days of electronic music. And that spirit is one of the things that really appeals to me about electronic music so I'm putting this forward as a way to keep that.

But I don't really listen to much be-bop at all at the moment.
