I think it's really different for me whether I'm touring as part of a larger group or if I'm touring on my own. It's a completely different experience, because when I tour on my own, it's really just me by myself, and I make nice relationships with people.

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'm really not working in a environment that's sonically pristine. It's not a conventional studio, obviously; it's a bit ramshackle.

It's just a spare room in my apartment. It's very cluttered and not particularly aesthetically inspiring, and it's very un-noise-proof.

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

I enjoy touring and traveling because that's the time when I get to read, and listen to music. You have all that downtime, which is great for that.

Learning how to record has been super empowering for me, because I spent so many years going into the studio and watching other people do it. I guess a lot of musicians have gone through this because now recording is really available for everybody.
