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

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.

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 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 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.

I saw Grizzly Man; I know what can happen.

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