"With The Centre Cannot Hold, I tried as much as I could, for as long as I could, to build instruments – to build objects – resisting the urge to connect them to a narrative; they were these cellular structures that then had the potential to become music. Just gargantuan patches of bullshit, really – 30, 40, 50 layers of VSTs. Once I worked out that I could load three instances of FM8 into a single Ableton rack and have them all interact with one another, that was the death of my CPU, but the beginning of new music."

SPL makes a plug called De-Verb, for example, which is designed to remove reverb. So that’s great, let’s remove all the reverb."

But they also made this thing called Mo-Verb, which is designed to give more room to a sound. Where things get interesting is when you start stacking those one after the other, on top of each other – one fighting to find a room, the other fighting to tear it out."
