I enjoy touring and traveling because that's the time when I get to read, and listen to music. You have all that downtime, which is great for that.

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

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 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.

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

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