school hair feelings
I got a feeling I had loads when I was in primary school, 'cause I had red hair; you know, like Duracell.
track sound keyboards
Sometimes I just hit the keyboard in a way I'd like the rhythm of the tracks to sound.
equipment
It's not about what equipment you have, it's what you do with it.
names stuff used
I used to make up names when I used to catalog my stuff.
track melancholy
There's a lot of melancholy in my tracks.
dog
I'd like to have a dog with me.
clever emotional guitar
It's quite similar to guitar solos, only with programming you have to use your brain. The most important thing is that it should have some emotional effect on me, rather than just, 'Oh, that's really clever.'
people despise knows
Can't really despise people you don't know.
artist people priorities
The best artists are people who don't consider themselves artists, and the people who do are usually the most pretentious and annoying. They've got their priorities wrong. They're just doing it to be artists rather than because they want to do it.
artist people sound
The best musicians or sound-artists are people who never considered themselves to be artists or musicians.
nice home giving
If you're making things at home, there is no structure - no end, no beginning. So releasing stuff is a really nice way to have dividers in between what you do, and giving yourself a kick up the ass and saying, "OK, that's the end of that period."
years track sound
If it takes you three years to set up a studio, and you've made one track with that setup, then the logical thing to do is not change anything and just do another one using the same set of sounds.
thinking holy-grail fans
The holy grail for a music fan, I think, is to hear music from another planet, which has not been influenced by us whatsoever.
interesting sticks done
It's more interesting for me to stick things out anonymously - you get more of an honest reaction to what you've done.
