[When did you fall in love with electronic music for the first time? Describe!]
As a teenager I was into many things, grunge and hip hop but also breakbeat and jungle. I remember the first Prodigy album, the absolutely mindblowing No Good (Start the Dance) single and Firestarter and the whole big-beat scene. The highlight was Dig Your Own Hole from the Chemical Brothers. These were my first experiences clubbing with my mates, jumping up and down in a frenzy. But my first serious engagement with electronic music beyond the dance floor was Orbital and the album In Sides which was voted no.1 on my favourite music magazine surpassing the now considered historical rock albums like In A Bar Under the Sea from Deus. Somewhere in there I remember being in a nirvana state with the Second Toughest in the Infants album from Underworld. I understood how techno works in my brain.
[What do you strive for, if anything, in your performances?]
My goal in a performance is to have a single, quite simple concept and provide a thorough exploration of it, creating more complex results than the initial idea suggested. I strive for deep listening, where one sound brings the next and by the end I hope that the audience can come with me in this personal psychedelic experience.
[Imagine your music was made for animals, which animals would that be?]
Definitely elephants. Or dolphins. It’s either intense or flows with grace.
[Who would be a dream to perform with? Why?]
I do love to perform with experienced improvisation musicians, so I’m gonna go with Todd Burton because I love his philosophy of starting from silence and just “follow the sound”. I think we’ll be able to communicate on a higher level sonically.
