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.

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

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 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've been making the recordings for a long time, and I have tons and tons of them. I'm like a digital hoarder or something - everything is on like hard drives and whatever.

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

I can really only can record at home.
