I try to get my subconscious to puke out as much stuff as I can because I'm really not judging myself while making music.
Something I keep coming back to in my music is the tension between two extremes: healing and chaos, hope and anxiety - these big themes are inside us, flickering, all day.
When I sit down to make music, I try to enter a flow; I always open a blank session and just make something that I feel like making.
I try to have things change before I get bored, and I figure other people might enjoy that too; I try not to let anything repeat for long enough that you can get used to it.
I do love the idea that something can make you forget that you're listening and just transport you to somewhere else in your head.
With song titles, I try to keep a healthy sense of humor while saying something at the same time.
I do love voices so much that I will use them and manipulate them. The presence of a human voice in a piece of music is really exciting, even if it's just someone's breathing.
There is also a particular frustration that I have with language. It's so clumsy. And the reason I'm feeling that is more because on your breathing and your intonation than the actual words.
A lot of me figuring out how to love myself more involves finding the things that I'm ashamed of and looking them right in the eye.
There has to be an entry point to learn about myself, or an idea I've never tried, because then I can try on a new skin and see the world through a different perspective. If I have that spark, then I'll save the [music] file.
It's very human to try to put things into boxes, and it's hard for us to reconcile with grey areas, and yet somehow that's the area I find the most poetic, the juiciest.
I had an unspoken treaty with myself to never lie in my lyrics, so, for a long time, when I wrote love songs, I would use genderless pronouns, like "dear" and "darling" - like some kind of granny!
I have an interesting relationship with my voice. I give myself tons of freedom in how to engage with my voice because I respect it a lot.
Only after a piece of music is done does my frontal cortex allow me to organize what might be trying to come out of my subconscious.
You become more animalistic when you don't know what's coming next - you have to be on guard, but at the same time you're also more receptive.
