Stereotyping and generating brands around musicians I think contributes to their eventual demise.
Squarepusher
I'm starting to play all the melodies with kind of keyboard sound but playing it from the bass guitar.
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
I love traveling. I love just going about on my own, feeling I have no roots.
Squarepusher
The older ideas are rendering more and more bland music.
Squarepusher
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.

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.

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.
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 don't know how many records I'm selling.
Squarepusher
I'm into music for all different sorts of purposes.
Squarepusher
I'm always pleased with my work. Absolutely.
Squarepusher
My history is really playing live - not writing or recording.
Squarepusher
If it's a language you don't understand and you're not concerned with the meanings of the words, your impression comes from how the words look, particularly if the language uses different characters.
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.
Squarepusher
But I don't really listen to much be-bop at all at the moment.
