I think I have a basic sound aesthetic that is in most of what I do.

I'm always looking to develop my sound and I'm in the studio whenever I have the time to do this. Always looking ahead!

I've always liked to be on my own, since I was young. I like the sound of a quiet place. It helps me focus.

I always just experiment with different sounds and styles until I find something that evokes the feeling I'm going for. I'm not trying to think too much about what anyone else is doing.

Creating sounds together with other musicians is something I've always liked doing.

You do your work as fully as you can, and the ones who hear the sound join in.

For me, it's just more satisfying when you follow the rules rather than just make a bunch of sounds. The magic of just making noise in the studio goes away after a while.

I think the biggest part of being on a sound system is wanting to always be the best.

I'm not really a knob-twiddler. I always work with an engineer; I'm not super hands-on when it comes to mixing boards and computers. I'm much more about what I'm hearing and what it needs to be like. I deal with songs and ideas and instruments.

Well, I've been recording myself on a computer since I was about 13 or 14. So it's completely entwined with my creative process. Essentially, it allows you to make music that's better and smarter than you are, by using your ears to lead the way.
