The studio is a place where I can experiment before I'm prepared for an idea to become a body of work, or a new way of working, or a way of working that can sustain me over a period of time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being in the studio is like painting, you know, you can really take your time, and try different things, and kind of go deep into it.
A studio is like a meditation room where music is created. And a live performance is the place where the creation of the studio is taken ahead. I love both.
The studio is really fun because I don't make it into the studio unless I've got something I really like. I love working with different musicians in the studio; that's a real joy, working with someone for the first time.
I have a rough idea when I walk into a studio though.
If you want a studio to back you, you want to be doing something that's been done to death!
I would have been content to just do studio work, making it on my own never really entered my mind.
I've been to the studio several times, and it's not that I'm not happy with what I've got, but each time I come away, I feel that I've learned something that I want to work on.
My ideas come when I least expect it, so I've always got to have a studio nearby or close by somewhere.
I hate studios. A studio is a black hole. I never use a studio to work. It's very artificial to go to a studio to get new ideas. You have to get new ideas from life, not from the studio. Then you go to the studio to realize the idea.
When I get in the studio the idea is just to work and bang out as many as I can.
