What happens in the studio is technically the same thing that happens on the stage. In the past I had to make quite brutal adaptations of the material to make it work on stage. I don't always like doing that because sometimes you're shaving away the things that you actually quite like about them, the spontaneity of it.

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

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 think the best way is to forget about racing people and just find territory that's fresh.

My history is really playing live - not writing or recording.

I'm starting to play all the melodies with kind of keyboard sound but playing it from the bass guitar.

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.
