I'm really terrible at sort of figuring out the thing that's going to make the money, I guess.

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

I feel like these sounds are the ultimate kind of free sounds, the ultimate public domain sounds. And I feel like people put them in completely different contexts, and they mean something different to everybody.

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 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.

As soon as we get out of our urban shell, we're still at the mercy of nature as individuals.
