Here’s an interview I did – through slightly stilted email – with the amazing kosmische pioneers Cluster, for The Quietus. I wish I’d been able to make it up to Sunderland for their underwater gig…

Here’s an interview I’ve done with Sean Booth from long-running Warp duo Autechre, who have just released their tenth album.

But there was no way I was going to make a fool of myself by asking the famously technophile Autechre anything specific about it...]

Here’s the online version, with slightly fewer photos of me spoiling the wonderful views.
