This film originally started as a promo for the Afx. 237 v.7 track on Aphex Twin's album druqks. How did the idea for the promo change from its original incarnation to the form we see it in now?
It started out as a 30 second TV commercial for Druqks. I listened to the track a lot and got carried away. I suggested to Steve Beckett that I should expand it into a full video and that I could knock it out in a few weeks, as it was just shot on a DV camera and it featured me and not much else.
Rubber Johnny is your fifth collaboration with Richard D James. What is it about his music that inspires you?
Well, most of my ideas just wouldn't work with the majority of music I get sent. I listen to a lot of very varied music, but if I am going to make a video or short and possibly spend months on it, I would rather do it to music which allows me to experiment. My style is about seamlessly fusing the sound and picture together so I have to look for music that can support dynamics and tangents.
