“I’m responding to the recordings that I took and layering things on top, but I always started with the field recording. The recording is a collaborator. The world is a collaborator. I find it really difficult to sit down and make something out of the blue. I’m not someone who hears melodies in their head, I need something to respond to.
I’m really interested in being in time when recording. When you’re recording a rock song in a studio, the point is to make something that’s sort of evergreen, that always sounds like its perfect form. You don’t want people to listen to your song and be like, oh yeah, I can hear the studio. This music is very much about time and place. I think in framing these recordings, I want it to feel like layers of time. Every layer that I add is an improvisation over a little snippet of reality, which becomes many layers of reality.”
