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

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

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.

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

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.

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 can really only can record at home.
