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.

Sometimes when I'm traveling, I feel a little bit dislocated, especially the transitions you make when you're traveling - you go to a different city every day.

I think it's really different for me whether I'm touring as part of a larger group or if I'm touring on my own. It's a completely different experience, because when I tour on my own, it's really just me by myself, and I make nice relationships with people.

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.

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

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.
