Being on the same level as everybody is really important to me. I'm trying to do really basic stuff like communicate, convey, talk, see, and invite joining and intimacy. What I'm trying to do is attach. It's not about being separate.

I like actual songs and bands, but it's usually parts, like the production, the bassline, the drums, that I'm really attracted to.

Performances have a bit of a life and a time scale to themselves.

I've got a twin sister who's an artist and growing up I was always "the loud one." She's not actually quiet at all, but I would rather fill a gap with chatter and she would just let a gap be. So there was no inclination to actually perform.

I started using Notes [on my iPhone] but I do a lot of hand written notes. It's a very slow, accumulative thing.

The way I perform or the setup is always same - just me and a microphone and the text - and they usually have some relation of how physical that stack becomes. When I'm editing it together, the density of the papers is an indicator to be like, "You need to stop."

I'm not really interested in making someone endure a performance or stand there for too long. I like to think about the length.
