I’m obsessed with the dialogue between humans and their music machines. The time I spend making music isn’t the disposable packaging of a finished track, it’s the product itself.

I quickly learned I couldn’t create the way I wanted with the tools that existed. I wanted to play electronic music with my body, not just sit behind a computer screen and enter data. So I started building my own tools, firstly for myself, then for others.

I’ve played Berghain and given a TED Talk.

I’ve performed in every continent, solo and with musicians such as Imogen Heap and Nile Rodgers.

I’ve released albums on my dream labels, Warp and Planet Mu.

I founded a music collaboration company and spent a few years doing the CEO thing.

Then I had twin daughters, lost my dad, got cancer and the company folded, all in a matter of months. I nearly lost everything but was put back on my feet by an incredibly supportive community.

I’m coming back to my roots - building things to make music with and making music with them.
