More quotes by Squarepusher
What happens in the studio is technically the same thing that happens on the stage. In the past I had to make quite brutal adaptations of the material to make it work on stage. I don't always like doing that because sometimes you're shaving away the things that you actually quite like about them, the spontaneity of it.

But I don't really listen to much be-bop at all at the moment.
Squarepusher
My history is really playing live - not writing or recording.
Squarepusher
I'm into music for all different sorts of purposes.

People have often assumed that for music to be emotionally powerful it has to come directly from a human hand, whereas I disagree with that, and enjoy proving these people wrong. This project is an excellent way of exploring that area more.

My plan is if you come to the shows in the first run of dates the versions you'll hear live are quite close to the record. But because I can set this up identically afterwards in a hotel room I can actually work when I'm on the move. The aim is that all the pieces will have had substantial remixes and different parts added and subtracted.

I'm basically a musician.

I didn't want to try and borrow kudos from Indonesian culture. I was trying to get a fresh perspective on these instruments. I'm not doing a Paul Simon Gracelands and stealing all this African music and not give anyone any credit.
Squarepusher
I don't know how many records I'm selling.
Squarepusher
I love traveling. I love just going about on my own, feeling I have no roots.
Squarepusher
I’m not that interested in what people make of it, or how people consider me. That’s nothing to do with me.
Squarepusher
Because, when I'm making music, I don't think about anything, you know? All I think about is what I want to hear. So that for me is what I want - I want my head to be constantly being rearranged.
Squarepusher
One of those things that I find hard to dispose of is my attitude to album sequencing, the layout of the pieces.
Squarepusher
Your responsibility as an artist is to experiment.
Squarepusher
I think the best way is to forget about racing people and just find territory that's fresh.
Squarepusher
One of the more dispiriting things I think about endless touring is hearing the same piece of music over and over again and I end up feeling like a fraud.
Squarepusher
I'm starting to play all the melodies with kind of keyboard sound but playing it from the bass guitar.
Squarepusher
I'm always pleased with my work. Absolutely.
Squarepusher
The only way to find that territory is trying to keep your mind constantly open. That's the only way that you're ever going to see the sort of signs of where to go.
Squarepusher
The older ideas are rendering more and more bland music.
