Quote

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.

Your responsibility as an artist is to experiment.

My history is really playing live - not writing or recording.

I love traveling. I love just going about on my own, feeling I have no roots.
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.

But I don't really listen to much be-bop at all at the moment.

I think the best way is to forget about racing people and just find territory that's fresh.
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.

There's a really rough and relatively consistent hierarchy of concerns. My musical interests come first and principally my fascination with how notes and rhythms interlock.

The older ideas are rendering more and more bland music.

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.

I've never really been that much of a fan of Ninja Tune.

I’ve started thinking about pure electronic music again. Something very melodic, very aggressive.

I'm always pleased with my work. Absolutely.

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.

I'm into music for all different sorts of purposes.

I'm starting to play all the melodies with kind of keyboard sound but playing it from the bass guitar.
Squarepusher
Image
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.

I’m not that interested in what people make of it, or how people consider me. That’s nothing to do with me.

I don't know how many records I'm selling.
