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

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

I feel as though I can get an end result that works for me, but as far as recording techniques, I don't feel that confident in my abilities.

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

I saw Grizzly Man; I know what can happen.

I can really only can record at home.
