“… I take a lot of inspiration from solitude in nature […] the environment is crucial, much more so than being in a perfect recording studio…”
“… it starts with sound… experimenting with sound… it truly gets me inspired… it’s what I react to…”
“… I like the idea of creating a sonic bed to lie down in, especially in the early stages of a track…”
“… I froze a bell strike and extended it for hours [and] noticed overtones, hidden sub-tones, and even entire harmonies within that single strike…”
“… musical vortexes rewiring time and space […] standing alone in its ecstatic intensity and cataclysmic emotional impact…”
“… we restricted ourselves to the grand piano as a source [and] the effects are opening up new prospects to transform the sound…”
“… [I like] introducing new elements to a sample, giving it a whole new character and making it sound old and tired or completely removed from what it originally was…”
“… I like to work quickly and destructively […] yielding beautiful and unexpected results with a focus on these happy accidents…”
