I saw Grizzly Man; I know what can happen.

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

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

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.

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