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 find when I'm touring or when I'm traveling, I just enter this other world kind of. It's much easier for me to be creative and be unselfconscious about creating when I'm home.

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

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

I'm always anxious in introducing sounds that don't originate with the cello.

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.
