In every song, there is a vocal element that doesn't have any words. I wanted to play around with how emotive and expressive my voice could be.

I'm definitely using different parts of myself, but I think when it comes down to words and melodies, I can't really force anything too much.

I gave in to the idea of paying attention to what you like and letting it help you make better stuff.

I think that the power of the Silent Minute lies in its inherent lack of external direction: what participants actually do during that minute - prayer, contemplation, focus - is up to them.

I have no neighbours other than animals and Joshua Trees.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.
