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

I'd say that it's important for music to be there that gives you a challenge, that rearranges things in your head.

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

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

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

Times of my life, brief periods without music, have completely felt dangerously over the edge.
