Regardless of what you make of his music, what do you think of Squarepusher's approach to interviews? I actually really appreciate his detailed, involved, perhaps slightly verbous resposnes to questions, and I think it makes a nice change from how most "IDM" folk handle the press. He is refreshingly proficient at using words, too, which always helps. I found the interviews at Squarepusher.net a joy to read. |

its an interesting approach in that you have someone like john coltrane who would quip in interviews, whereas sp projects confidence and integrity too. |

i normally agree with you cs2x , but squarepusher just comes off as very pretentious to me in his interviews. the latest one in bass player mag was a nearly intolerable read. And on the other hand i agree that most IDM musicians give shitty interviews, i just dont consider Tom's approach to be a breath of fresh air in electronic music interviews |

i dont think he can *not* be that way. hes well-educated + probably concern ed with representing himself properly, and to express himself most purely he has to rely on his natural vocabulary. he takes the piss sometimes too, ok? ;-] |

Maybe because electronic music relies so much on the novelty of new sounds that if you let too much out in interviews you will end up with thousands of watered down copy cat artists. Not that this isn't already happpening |

CS3x - you are absolutely spot on. |

I don't like the dude's demeanor when it comes to interviews. Even if he's not spelling it outright, I can always feel his arrogance. Yeah, people tend to ask a lot of bullshit questions of artists ("so where do you get your ideas??"), but I have much more respect for someone who patiently deals with those lame ass questions than one who acts like he's too good to answer them. |

i think autechre are the best in interviews however they sometimes are too nice in some interview they say its difficult not to insult detroit techno hero's according to the music autechre are making in the sort of fuck up techno style well fuck detroit techno makers if they have a problem with autechre |

would you like to insult the artists you grew up listning to? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yeah but i dont know how autechre is insulting original techno makers or how any music could insult eachother so its somehow weird |
||||||||
|

i've got no idea what you are talking about. autechre insulting detroit, or the other way around. no idea. only thing i do know, is that half of the ae radio-set consists of old-skool (detroit) techno. half of it. that's like 15 hours, or something. sounds like an ode to me. |

yeah i dont know myself |
||||||||
|

yeah it was kinda nonsense talking :- just saw them talking about detroit techno in that video interview from rome or something and they tought they were kinda insulting detroit techno makers with their music wich i found kinda weird but is has nothing to do with squarepusher who is really pretentious in interviews |
