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.

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 giving into my tendency to want to blur and blend the lines between art and life, and privacy and sharing.

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.

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.
