I can't say that electronic gear is restrictive. I think it is a challenge to play with electronic gear, and I regularly [perform] concerts with guys who are processing sound.

I think there is a big question in how much music a film needs - a lot of films are overloaded for my taste, so that the story can't carry its own weight.

I can't really say that film music inspired me; it is more the films themselves, in connection with the music.

My music is also one part of my inner process, and people also seem to connect with me on that - especially the ones who have the same questions for their own lives.

The opportunity to use a computer is great when it is used as one component, or when someone is working on his or her own sounds and approaches. I think it actually has the same restrictions as using the piano or any other instrument in [a traditional] way.

In a way, I pick out the films that have a same attitude as music that I like.

During Christmas time, on German television they show films with three or four episodes, and I quite like the feeling of waiting for the next episode.
