As soon as we get out of our urban shell, we're still at the mercy of nature as individuals.

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.

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 love traveling and I love seeing new places and meeting new people, but at the same time, it takes a certain amount of emotional strength to gel with that, at least for me.

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 saw Grizzly Man; I know what can happen.
