- Nov 07, 2020
I went to art school, and I studied drawing and video art, and I've always approached music so visually as a result that I found it really difficult in the past to kind of hand off music to another director, 'cause it just ends up being this kind of mid-zone where it's nobody's vision, really.

But I studied art in Belgium from the age of 17 to 18, and I learned French when I was there. Very reluctantly so. I didn't do a very good job. For the first six months I was very depressed and couldn't speak to anyone, and then it kinda hits you.
- Language
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I just started studying opera - very, very much as hobby - and for some reason I've been gravitating toward French composers, like a lot of Debussy and Faure. I find it a really sinuous and spooky language to sing in.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Humor
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Low' was probably the album that influenced me more than any other, because of how it combined humor and impressive, glamorous, driving energy with this totally surreal soundscape production.

- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Past
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I guess this song isn't about anything necessarily sad, but it makes me sad just because it makes me think about how inaccessible the past is, but it's called 'Boy Child' by Scott Walker.
- Crazy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Young people have realised that an artist is in charge of what they're doing - this crazy cynicism that artists were puppets has disappeared.
