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

One of those things that I find hard to dispose of is my attitude to album sequencing, the layout of the pieces.

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.

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

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

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

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

I'm trying to fly the flag for the days of electronic music where people who are making it are also building the gear because that was what was happening in the very early days of electronic music. And that spirit is one of the things that really appeals to me about electronic music so I'm putting this forward as a way to keep that.

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.

Stereotyping and generating brands around musicians I think contributes to their eventual demise.

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.

I'm basically a musician.

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

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

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.

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. Then comes the technical side like programming, instruments and designing instruments. Next is production and mixing and beyond that I start to care less.

The older ideas are rendering more and more bland music.
