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.

The older ideas are rendering more and more bland music.

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

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.

Stereotyping and generating brands around musicians I think contributes to their eventual demise.

One of the more dispiriting things I think about endless touring is hearing the same piece of music over and over again and I end up feeling like a fraud.
