“Just make a giant [effects] chain. A lot of times people ask me how I make a sound, and it’s like, I just didn’t stop where you would have stopped twenty effects ago. There’s no secret thing: you just keep doing shit and eventually you’ll get something interesting. And that’s the non-technical aspect of it: there is no right or wrong way to do anything. People are just very careful about [sound design] and don’t want to ruin it. And I’m just like, I need it to be ruined to be interesting because I’ve heard every sound up until that point, so I’ve got to add another thing and then another thing and then suddenly you get something novel. But it’s not out of you being smart. It’s just because you’ve made so many arbitrary decisions that you’re suddenly in a new place.”
