I'm Pampered Like You Wouldn't Believe.

I Worry About Being A Fogy And Just Writing For Orchestras. Like, Really, I Should Be Doing More Electronic Stuff, I Feel. Laptops As Part Of The Orchestra, And Installation Sound, And Speakers.

I Sometimes Feel A Bit Embarrassed To Play Guitar. There's Something - I Don't Want To Sound Ungrateful - But There's Something Very Old-fashioned And Traditional About It. You Meet Kids Today Whose Grandparents Were In Punk Bands, Really. It's Very Old And Traditional, But Then, You Know, So Is An Orchestra And So Is The String Section.

I Think It's A Bit Of A Disappointment That A Lot Of People's Golden Age Of Music Is Still The '60s.

As I Kid, I Was Always Jealous Of The Music That My Favorite Bands Had Written - But Not Really Of How They Played. So I'd Daydream About Having Written Songs, And This Way Above Being Able To Perform Them.

I Fell In Love With Electronics, Which For Me Was The Terra Incognita, Because I Had Never Heard Such Sounds. If You'd Asked Me 50 Years Ago, I Would Have Said The Future Of Music Is Only Electronic, But I Would Have Been Wrong. I Learnt How To Produce Everything I Needed With Live Instrumentalists, So I Don't Need Electronics.
