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

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

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.

It's important for that to exist in a society that doesn't present you with any genuine problems.

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.

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

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