“The idea is to create a rhythmical structure with chords, bass, little sound snippets and delays that combine to create melodies by themselves. For example, if you repeat a single note in a delay and put it into a room, it starts resonating and builds a melody on top of the basic chord. You never… Continue reading

“The speed of access is now a problem over everything. You know, quick decisions, throw away, modify, constant automation on your DAW. That stuff is all well and good, but the reason people are going back to previous stuff is that everyone is looking for forms of restriction, I think. (…) You throw something in… Continue reading

“I work a lot on the fragment. Even when I am in the studio, I think it is the unit of language which then develops the rest. Even in the approach to Monteverdi, I worked on the fragment, I would say even on the fragmented nature of the creative process: I worked on sound tissue… Continue reading

“I put a bunch of elements together, and if I hear something emerging out of those combinations of elements, that’s where I try and investigate further. Instead of getting an idea and thinking, ‘I want to make something that sounds like this’ and then figuring out how to make it, I’m putting a bunch of… Continue reading

“I’m very fond of getting stuff down really quickly and rendering to groups and just condensing mass of recordings and then letting stuff fall away that isn’t hitting me.” “I find that abstract realm of experimentation—it’s such a great place to start to just experience ultimate freedom. You’re not thinking about making a hit; you’re… Continue reading

“I think in the distant future, everything will get more and more grey. Music styles will get more and more mixed and merged.” Nathan Fake database. Continue reading

“It was just one of the first experiments of how the people could react to […] this like 45, 50 minutes of build-ups taken from trance tracks just looped very precisely that sounds like it’s coming, but it’s always the same loop. After a while you realize that the filter is not opening, the delay… Continue reading

“I very rarely go back or delete. I add one eq after the other and each one of them is like a step of correction or enhancement of the previous one. Of course it is maybe the worst thing you could do, but it makes the sound more yours, or better: it crystallizes what your… Continue reading

“I try to see (inspiration) as a muscle I flex.” “The way I work is to create a huge amount of content/versions/takes whatever you want to call it and then hone it down over and over. I’ll get inspired by some happy accident when I unplugged a guitar and it made a weird thud through… Continue reading
