As It Turns Out, As

A Record Is Something That Isn't Real Or True. It's Like Cinema. It's A Construction Of Something Hyper-real And Surreal And Unreal All At The Same Time. You Make A Space That Doesn't Really Exist. One Of The Big Joys Of Being In This Line Of Work Is Building The Recorded Versions Of The Songs.

I Don't Like The Idea Of Being Surrounded By Hidden Things; People You Can't See In Buildings And Cars.

The Less People Present In An Urgent Situation That A Moderately High Stakes Recording Session Can Create - The Less People There Are In The Room - The More Openness There Can Be. These Songs Share That As Well, In Addition To Just The Obvious, Basic Starkness.

Every Recording Session And Tour Is A Very Valuable Time To Me In Terms Of Getting To Spend Time With The Musicians - Whether They're Friends And Family Or People I've Just Met - Because I Don't Have A Job Where I Get To Interact With People Everyday.

The Sense Of Waking Up In The Morning And Knowing That There Is Music Ahead Of Me In The Day Is Such An Incredible Feeling. The More I Engage With Music The More Days I Wake Up And Know That That's What's Going To Be There, And The Things That Come With Music.
