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

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

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.

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.

People tend to eat through the cello. They tend to take out the things that make it beautifully cello-y sometimes.
