The Buzz: "The idea was not to work with collaborators in an artificial way, when you don't even meet people. It was really to share physically music and emotions. I was not sure even that these people I approached would be interested, I was really amazed and moved that they all said yes. . . they became kinds of friends, on the way."
A period of travelling, to London, Los Angeles and Berlin, followed, when he met musicians including Pete Townsend, Laurie Anderson, Fuck Buttons, John Carpenter, Moby, M83, Armin van Buuren, Air and Vince Clarke.
"From day one I had exactly the same kind of excitement that I had even before Oxygene. I think it's not a matter of time. The tools and the parameters of creativity are probably a mixture of innocence and desire, and that is absolutely timeless."
