I think I was first to do live performances on a modern electronic sound synthesizer.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
More recently, I used guitar synthesizer extensively on the two albums I did with Robert Fripp.
I've always had a deep passion for a lot of early electronic and sampled music.
I spent most of the year in the studio for electronic music at a radio station in Cologne or in other studios where I produced new works with all kinds of electronic apparatus.
I was a musician first before anything.
From the beginning, I wanted to make dance music with a human element to it.
Throughout my years in From First to Last, I was always dabbling and making electronic music on my own time. The first records I ever owned were crossover electronic rock, like Prodigy, Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails.
I was a guitar player first off.
Music was the first thing I did where I was naturally talented.
I'm making music the way I would have done before modern equipment and music recording.
By the time I got to building synthesizers, I had perhaps 20 years' experience building electronic musical instruments.
