Fantastic Interview. I've enjoyed his work for a long time, and I've never heard him speak so freely, openly and in such a jovial way. He's evolved incredibly over the years, and his vast knowledge of his craft is mind blowing. I should also mention that the interviewer is also great at her ability to interact, listen, and her clearly well researched awareness of his work and influences. Cheers.
Bill Furlong Totally agree on all fronts, and especially too about the interviewer. She knew his back catalogue off the top of her head so well that it informed a really authentic dialogue between them both. Great to see, and something that Squarepusher doesn’t always get in these sort of interviews. I think that’s why he was so communicative about aspects of his work not always revealed.
34:46 "I think it is a bit of a trap, when you're wholeheartedly making experimental music, that it can veer off into its own domain where the music betrays this sense that the listener is no longer relevant." 👍👍👍
I've been dwelling on this quote - does he mean that experimental music can often ignore the listener? I agree with that - but it also seems he might prefer having the listener take an independent role in the listening, allowing him to experiment freely without dictation - which is also a great idea.
I came upon Squarepusher many years ago,and his music challenged me as a DJ.I never wanted to just spin records,mix on one time signature,and I like the space vs Noise I can create with instruments at the same time.I like to listen,learn,and create something that might matter somewhere.I do love musical instruments,samplers,found sounds,and yes,I still love the early LPs,like 'Music Is One Rotted Note'.Too many opinions and not enough bands today,too much emphasis on 'what gear one has,what presets,etc,etc.Not so with Tom,and I remember having an interesting conversation with someone here in NYC that knows him personally.He described Tom as someone adept with the mathematics of music/sound design,on the bass guitar,and his different uses of sequencers/synths.
Hello, Tom. I had a copy of solo electric bass but unfortunately it was ruined in my storage unit. The first time I listened to that cd was the first time I heard of you and it was incredible. I kept hearing all the Hendrix riffs. Great performance.
Great interview. I didn't intend to listen to it all but ended up anyway. Sad to hear about his broken wrist and his friend Chris Marshal passing away but fascinating to hear about his early life.
Edwin Jose Morais One of the best interviews with him I’ve yet heard, love how he talks about the concepts behind Go Plastic and other parts of his career
It’s an incredible experience, he puts on an intense show. I saw him in Sydney at the Opera House a few years back and the show was mind blowing. Hope you get to see him soon.
Who is doing the interview? She's excellent - and deserves a lot of credit for setting a great vibe up here - that takes research and knowledge - respect!
Totally agree - the interviewer is Holly Dicker, she's a contributor with Resident Advisor. Definitely knows her stuff and like you say, sets a great vibe for Tom to ease into.
What is the artist he mentions about "running onto the stage? Something Twins? Not Aphex, genuinely curious and can't figure out what he says. She gives a big reaction though

Squarepusher's the fucking daddy, he makes all the different styles of drum n bass
I mean come on! This meme is at least 24 years old
Memes weren’t invented then

Love that low-key flex.
probably not even a flex

@@Wrenasmir plus one from me as a big SP fan this is a lovely interview - so relaxed and fun too - great work

the listener is not welcome to this music, love it lol
Good shit

Hes saying experimental music should be made without concern for the audience?
@@whywhywhy9659 well you are supposed to make music for yourself first and foremost
Walking through a British field at sunset with Tom Jenkinson would be the most future thing that could ever happen in my life

Love the candidacy of the interview. BIG UP TOM!
I never listen to interviews twice. Except this.
Hello, Tom. I had a copy of solo electric bass but unfortunately it was ruined in my storage unit. The first time I listened to that cd was the first time I heard of you and it was incredible. I kept hearing all the Hendrix riffs. Great performance.
Wow, he went to school with Guthrie, so awesome!
Huge Inspiration and thanks for the upload great interview.

Absolutely legend. Uniquely unique, an important artist. Thank you for posting this!
Thank you so much. I’ve read all the new interviews but this is a treat
Edwin Jose Morais One of the best interviews with him I’ve yet heard, love how he talks about the concepts behind Go Plastic and other parts of his career
This interview is great! Really nice, should be turned into a documentary really! It's almost a biography actually.
Can’t wait to see Squarepusher live.
It’s an incredible experience, he puts on an intense show. I saw him in Sydney at the Opera House a few years back and the show was mind blowing. Hope you get to see him soon.
@@Wrenasmir I did have tickets but COVID-19 cancelled so.
