I never had any social life, just played the piano and studied, studied, studied.
Everything stems from real experiences but I do also have a very vivid imagination. A song lyric gets easily carried away with itself and can end up somewhere I'd never have predicted.
Inspiration hits me at the most annoying times. Like when I am on my bicycle going back home from the studio at 3 a.m.. I've many crackly recordings into my mobile phone practically inaudible from the wind rushing into the handset!
The gloves are like a second skin. They are part of me. An extension of me. I become hyperreal.
Oily marks appear on walls / Where pleasure moments hung before
I just love crafting and shaping sounds... I like to breathe my own life into these sounds
