I have a room dedicated to music and recording. I go there first thing in the morning and just before I go to bed. And it has a window to my street, so I can watch all the crazies walking by.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In my flat in Chicago, I've got this big room with an office in the corner and a balcony so I can watch people go by.
I spend a lot of time doing watercolors and playing music in my apartment.
I tend to gravitate to the darkest or most obscure part of any venue in an effort to have my own space to experience the music on my own, free from unwanted conversations and other distractions.
My room for books and study or for sitting and thinking about nothing in particular to see what would happen was at the end of a hall.
I've found throughout the years that I needed a place where I can go with no TV, no computer, no phone and just have no distractions and just be able to sit and think and just not be disturbed.
I don't really have studios. I wander around around people's attics, out in fields, in cellars, anyplace I find that invites me.
I can be at my house sitting there making music alone, and every single time I've ever done that the first thing I do when I'm done, no matter if it's 4 in the morning... I literally just pick up my phone and I call someone.
I like to stay home and listen to recordings.
I spend my weekends sleeping and watching DVDs, and eating at restaurants within a 2-block radius of my apartment.
I have enough music coming out of my kids' bedrooms when I'm at home.
