various interviews
When Chaos Control interviewed you during the NASA tour, you mentioned that you built your own electronic instruments. Can you describe them a bit more, and explain how they work alongside commercially available gear?
"Well, I don't use the electronic stuff I made before. I use about two things that I built when I was younger, and that's all these days. I'm strictly into the computer domain."
What home made equipment do you still use?
"I've got one thing that's like an effects box for signal treatments and bizarre sorts of effects that I can't get out of anything else. The quality is very fucked up and it sounds pretty cool still."
What was the reason for the move towards computers?
"It's just that analog electronics has had its day for me. It's too limiting. I'm much more interested in using computers."
You're known for being very prolific. How much material did you write for the new album?
"For this one, I had about 200 songs. It was quite hard, it's always hard, because I never know what to release, basically. So I get my mates to listen to it and try to see what they like. I don't usually end up putting out my favorite tracks. I don't reckon people will get into those. Not that I care, I just want them to buy the record so I can get some money."
Do you try to chose songs with common theme? Do you try to find a varied group of songs?
"Usually I try to get a sort of range. I approach thinking about what I would have wanted if I bought and what people will actually buy, to get a compromise in between."
How long did it take to create those 200 songs?
"A year."
Will the other material come out, as either side projects or bonus tracks?
"Some of it probably will come out. They just go into the realms of all the other millions of tracks I do that never come out."
Do you ever go back to songs you did a long time ago but never released?
"I'm totally nostalgic, so I get into listening to old stuff every no
