Jason Crosse is Biowire Because we haven't gotten around to reviewing Disparation yet (we've only had it for a few days), we'll direct your attention to the Electronic Watusi Boogaloo site. If you're the trusting sort, you can buy Biowire at Insound.

What's the worst "day job" you've ever had?

Jason Crosse: Shifting baby food in a dodgy chemist's warehouse.

PC or Mac (or Linux/etc.)? Why?

Jason Crosse: Mac. Because PCs cause more frustration than celibacy.

What is your definition of a "good person"?

Jason Crosse: Someone who looks good in rubber.

What is the dumbest fashion trend of the last hundred years?

Jason Crosse: Paying any attention to fashion designers.

What book (or books) that you read as a child has most influenced your life as an adult?

Jason Crosse: The Lord of the Rings. I now live in a burrow in the Shire and am friends with a dwarf and an elf.

Given the choice, would you rather stake your life on your ability to quickly solve a complex mathematical equation, or attempt to fight/escape from a large grizzly bear? Why?

Jason Crosse: I'd escape from the bear. You try solving an equation with a big stick.

What's your favorite video/computer game? Don't have one? How about board games?

Jason Crosse: Gran Turismo 2 on Playstation. Mmmmmmm cars.

What's your position on gun control?

Jason Crosse: Behind. It's a bit different over here (UK) because hand guns are illegal and other types have to be locked away. But far fewer people get shot. I've heard the argument that it's not guns that kill people but people that kill people. Rubbish. If you don't have a gun you can't shoot anyone, can you? And it's a damn sight more difficult to kill someone by a different method.

What album or albums in your music collection would you have to replace immediately if they wore out, were stolen, etc.?

Jason Crosse: Music has the Right to Children by Boards of Canada. Spanners by The Black Dog. Disparation by Biowire.

Paper or plastic? Why?

Jason Crosse: Paper. Because I can count it. Plastic. Because I can cancel it.

You're stuck at my house. It's your turn to cook. What meal do you cook me?

Jason Crosse: Chicken curry and rice. Yum.

What's the most evil thing in the world?

Jason Crosse: The poverty gap.

You have the power to bring one famous dead person back to life. Who's it gonna be?

Jason Crosse: Galileo Galilee. I'd tell him, "you're right, mate."

What "official version" of a historical event do you most suspect to be a load of crap?

Jason Crosse: The Moon landing.

What is the "most wanted" item on your holiday wish list?

Jason Crosse: A flat in Barcelona.

Jason Crosse is Biowire, and a member of Sweden's Ultra Wide Band collective to boot. His new record, Disparation, is one of the first releases from Kindercore's collaboration with Electronic Watusi Boogaloo. Here's some more info, straight from Jason himself:

"My first encounter with playing music was when I was ten -- I started playing the clarinet classically. I started messing about creating music on the Amiga with Games Music Creator, way back. I must have been thirteen or fourteen. I carried on messing about and eventually made a couple of rave-style tunes when I was seventeen with a friend of mine. Then I finished college and started Uni and was finding the Amiga's internal sounds too limiting, especially as I wanted string sounds and synthy acid style sounds. I got a student loan and used it to buy my first sound module on new years eve in 1994. Mu music then started to pick up because obviously I found using lots of sounds and effects was liberating for me musically. During Uni I saved up and bought a sampler, which was the best thing for my music. Soon after this I wrote "Karizma", which LTJ Bukem started playing on dub-plate, and then met (EWB honcho) Michael (Evill) and wrote "happiness". During May 1997 I got to go over to Sweden and record it and remix it. Soon after this I had to stop writing for a while and work. From then until the end of 1998 I didn't write much music, only a couple of tunes, until I went for another visit to Sweden in March 99. DJing in the clubs there was a great boost - and a few months later I left my job and wrote the majority of Disparation, then went back to Sweden and played it to Michael & co."
