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

I'm always pleased with my work. Absolutely.

Your responsibility as an artist is to experiment.

But I always communicate with the audience. I never pretend like I'm just in my bedroom making a track. The whole point of doing a gig is, like, a feedback thing between you and the audience.

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

I want to change peoples' minds about music, I want to bring the really brutal experimental stuff to peoples' attention.

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.
