 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 was starting to feel really suffocated, using the sequencer. |
| Yeah, my drum programming especially is based on my knowledge of playing a drum kit. For the bass too, definitely. It was the first thing that I translated any sort of ideas through. It must have shaped it somehow. |
| I love traveling. I love just going about on my own, feeling I have no roots. |
| I think the best way is to forget about racing people and just find territory that's fresh. |
| I'm basically a musician. |
| Because there's so much stuff I don't release. |
| The older ideas are rendering more and more bland music. |
| I'm starting to play all the melodies with kind of keyboard sound but playing it from the bass guitar. |
| I'm not that interested in what people make of it, or how people consider me. That's nothing to do with me. |
| The only way to find that territory is trying to keep your mind constantly open. That's the only way that you're ever going to see the sort of signs of where to go. |
| I don't know how many records I'm selling. |
| Just the type of music that was around at the same time as I was writing. Some of it was wicked, definitely. But there was just one direction which I thought could be pushed that no one was pushing. |
| I'm always pleased with my work. Absolutely. |
| But I don't really listen to much be-bop at all at the moment. |
| Times of my life, brief periods without music, have completely felt dangerously over the edge. |
| I've never really been that much of a fan of Ninja Tune. |
| I have a rough idea when I walk into a studio though. |
| Because, when I'm making music, I don't think about anything, you know? All I think about is what I want to hear. So that for me is what I want - I want my head to be constantly being rearranged. |
| My history is really playing live - not writing or recording. |
