For my second record I had gotten ProTools and started to familiar myself with hard disc recording.

So, once I've written a song, you know, I'm pretty happy with what the song is on its own terms.

I make the kind of music I like

So I started chanting when I was nineteen, which was about twelve years ago, and it really had a huge impact on my outlook, happiness, and general creativity.

But really important, perhaps most important is the craft; how you make your record, the creation of these sonic worlds you want your listener to hear.

I also wanted to make a record that was about other things than romance, yeah, after two years on the road singing all the songs from the first album, I got kind of tired of that.

Things come to me pretty regularly. There is never a shortage or a backlog
