I love working with technology because it allows me to follow my imagination and to invent new things.

I row for about 40-45 minutes every morning and put in my iPod and it's a huge range. That's when I listen to either things that I just love and know very well and just want to pay attention, it's also where I listen to things that are new that I want to get to know.

I went to the University of California, Santa Cruz for a year, which turned out to be a really vibrant, very intensive intellectual atmosphere where you could do a lot of aspect of music without it being a conservatory. And that's why I went there.

The one obvious thing is that the devices are so good now that you can also see their limitations extremely well.

My work on hyper instruments started with simple instruments, like the piano.

I never liked opera growing up. I always liked chamber music or solo music even more than orchestral music.

My message is to forget about dichotomies. The Brain Opera is an opera, even if it does not tell a story in the usual way. It is a psychological journey with voices - so I do consider it an opera.
