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 love traveling and I love seeing new places and meeting new people, but at the same time, it takes a certain amount of emotional strength to gel with that, at least for me.

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.

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 feel like we as human beings are trampling all over the natural world, but at the same time, we are totally in its power.

When you're touring, it's somehow hard to focus on other things. I know other people can do it, but I really can't.

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