The only way to find that territory is trying to keep your mind constantly open. That's the only way that you're ever going to see the sort of signs of where to go.

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

I’ve started thinking about pure electronic music again. Something very melodic, very aggressive.

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

I didn't want to try and borrow kudos from Indonesian culture. I was trying to get a fresh perspective on these instruments. I'm not doing a Paul Simon Gracelands and stealing all this African music and not give anyone any credit.

I was starting to feel really suffocated, using the sequencer.

I love traveling. I love just going about on my own, feeling I have no roots.
