I have lived in countries that were coming out of conflict: Ireland, South Africa, the Czech republic. People there are overflowing with energy.
From Brian Eno
I often work by avoidance.
I take sounds and change them into words.
I think generally playing live is a crap idea. So much of stage work is the presentation of personality, and I've never been interested in that.
I thought it was magic to be able to catch something identically on tape and then be able to play around with it, run it backwards; I thought that was great for years.
I wanted to get rid of the element that had been considered essential in pop music: the voice.
I'm very good with technology, I always have been, and with machines in general. They seem not threatening like other people find them, but a source of fun and amusement.
I've discovered this new electronic technique that creates new speech out of stuff that's already there.
If I had a stock of fabulous sounds I would just always use them. I wouldn't bother to find new ones.
If you want to make someone feel emotion, you have to make them let go. Listening to something is an act of surrender.
