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

I like my stuff 'cause I only ever end up with tracks that I really, really like. It always appeals to me.

I'm always pleased with my work. Absolutely.

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

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

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.
