For me, living and making music, they're one thing. It's not like a job that I go to a studio to do, or a chore that I have to get myself in the mood to do, or something. It's the thing that I need to do every day.

So when I feel the spirit upon me it's something I don't take it for granted, and I don't think I'm solely responsible for these things.

I never feel like I'm running out of ideas, because it is clear to me - music is infinite

Pot put me in a position where I could walk far away from my playing and hear it in the second person. It helped me step away from myself. I stopped seeing the guitar as a thing I'm holding in my hands and started seeing it as a thing that's at one with outer space and nothingness.

Dream that you died It takes you out of your mind The black walls of space Take me all the way
