I find that I'm always struggling with the noise of the city. When I get a good take, there will be a horn or a siren or something. So it makes me very conscious of outside sounds, which in a way maybe led me to incorporate the field recordings.

I saw Grizzly Man; I know what can happen.

I've been making the recordings for a long time, and I have tons and tons of them. I'm like a digital hoarder or something - everything is on like hard drives and whatever.

I have totally like an urbanite relationship to nature. I mean I'm not someone who hikes.

I don't really understand the natural world, I admire it and am a little bit afraid of its power.

Last time I was recording, I was trying to loop on the computer, but it's really difficult because it's really different from looping on hardware.
