>From an article in ReMix (January 2002):
Squarepusher's composing methods are just as rugged. "I go into a trance
state when I am programming," he says. "I don't use [Emagic] Logic Audio
Platinum. I hate computer editing, and I hate computer sequencing. The 
music
I am into comes from using multitrack tape recorders and dubbing for
composition. Once you've edited on tape, computer editing is a piece of
shit. It is so much more of a vibe to cut up tape and line things up using
your ears, not your eyes. Now I make the composition from start to finish
instead of making a track and editing it afterwards."

Jenkinson relies on some primitive sequencing, as well. "I do all step-time
writing," he says. "I have a Yamaha sequencer, and you can edit the music 
in
tracklists and put it all in numbers. The whole day my head is juggling
numbers - it is this strange numerical mission. It's like being a psychic 
or
a mathematician. It is not just about knowing about equipment and
mathematics; it is knowing how to intuit things, to see the way things
should go."
