But tending machinery was one thing; defining what we were trying to do and why we were doing it, and developing ways to measure how well the job was done - this was something else again.

When I was young I had an apprenticeship as an engineer.

I've gone down several paths. I started school as an engineer, but underneath it all, I knew I wanted to use instruments, not build them.

Life is composed of different inventions. I have continued to work at different things and rebuilt my home all by myself. I did it for the sake of satisfaction at doing something.

I usually describe myself as an engineer; that's basically what I've been doing since I was a kid.

When I started off, I was working in a shed behind my house. All I had was a drill, an electric drill. That was the only machine I had.

I've been working with contractors designing and building a house on a nonstop basis since 2005. I learned about all these systems of audio, construction, electricity, energy, water systems.

Most of my time, energy and other resources I use to nurture my projects.

I'm an engineer. I see myself as a toolmaker and the musicians are my customers... They use my tools.

My background educationally is physics and economics, and I grew up in sort of an engineering environment - my father is an electromechanical engineer. And so there were lots of engineery things around me.
