New Order has always been a hybrid band. We always mixed guitar, bass, drums with electronic.

And I'm always interested when other musicians are trying to discover new worlds of sound.

I don't think we'll ever use the same sound techniques.

Any good music must be an innovation.

I come from a background of experimental music which mingled real sounds together with musical sounds.

Music in general is looking for something new overall.

Anything can become a musical sound. The wind on telegraph wires is a great sound; get it into your machine and play it and it becomes interesting.

However now we can create a sound that can truly startle someone and in terms of sound effects I think the environment that we are in now has improved dramatically.

Sound is more than just noise. Ordered sound is music. My life is music.

I'm a big fan of electronic dance music.
