If I crave a frequency in the mid, I'll just drag in a sound and try to mold it into what feels right. It happens very quickly. And if I've been making a piece of music for five hours and it sucks, I'll just throw it away.

I do love the idea that something can make you forget that you're listening and just transport you to somewhere else in your head.

It's very human to try to put things into boxes, and it's hard for us to reconcile with grey areas, and yet somehow that's the area I find the most poetic, the juiciest.

I try to get my subconscious to puke out as much stuff as I can because I'm really not judging myself while making music.
