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
