Your music has such a unique sound. Can you tell me about the creative process of layering different sounds in a cohesive manner?
It comes down to just having patience with everybody’s ideas and listening to each other. I know it sounds really simple but it’s actually quite difficult to put your creative ego aside when you're writing to find that dynamic where everybody is contributing and listening to each other and refining it. It takes a lot of time and effort but it’s worth it. I think because of it, that’s what makes it translate because it’s four people agreeing rather than a hierarchy. I mean, we’re all giant nerds and we just like a lot of music from everywhere. [With music] that may seem like a juxtaposition, it’s seeing what it is or what components make them the same and trying to find that thread – even if you're trying to mix Mongolian harmonic throat singing and Takamba rhythms or something. There’s so much of that in the world throughout nature, the arts and behavioral patterns – there’s this really intricate mathematics to the world where it tends to mimic itself somehow even though it’s really vast and different. So I guess its just trying to see how it’s similar.
