More quotes by Zach Condon
I'm swept along by larger forces out of my control.
Zach Condon
I could probably spend the next five years reworking an album from ten years ago, if given the chance, to make it better - make it best, so to speak.
Zach Condon
I think I spent more time on the mellotron than on any other instrument in the studio, and it got to the point where I was like, Well, you can't write an entire album on this instrument. But maybe I would!
Zach Condon
I spent my entire life working with the smallest budget I could get. Just working with old, junky, donated equipment. The only things I bought myself were the trumpet and the $9 ukulele.
Zach Condon
I released that side of things really as kind of an introduction to where I came from musically, back in the day when all I had was a keyboard, a drum machine, and a four-track. So I was doing these little synth-pop ditties, and it's how I learned to write.
Zach Condon
It was funny to just take a backseat and be like, 'Wow, I might be in this crazy place, but maybe I don't need to understand everything, maybe I don't need to be someone else.'
Zach Condon
I like to think that location, travel, etc, is a launching point for purely imagining.
Zach Condon
I think, if I had my choice, I would spend all my time in the studio writing, and creating music.
Zach Condon
I felt like I needed to get a few side projects out of my system before I settled in to do the new record. Usually what's asked of you, everything's a year cycle. When you get caught up in that cycle, it can be kind of brutal, actually. It was good I got to take a year off, with no pressure coming from anywhere.
Zach Condon
My dad is obsessed with music, so I was raised around this guitar player that really wanted me to be a guitar player. One of my earliest memories is him kind of forcing a guitar on all my brothers and me. You know, You have to practice three hours a day! I hated guitar at the time. I kind of picked up trumpet to spite him.
Zach Condon
I just reached the point where I realised, I need to stop repeating myself if I'm ever actually going to enjoy the music I'm creating.
Zach Condon
I can't work in Brooklyn. Unless I'm completely locked away in a studio, there's just too much distraction and stimulation.
Zach Condon
As much as I try to grow as a lyricist, I tend to laugh at even calling myself that, because I think that my actual talents lie more in arrangements than they do words.
Zach Condon
In the age of the mp3, you gotta make the package special, something that's worth owning.
Zach Condon
It's just not an image I had ever put out about myself - the bedroom synth guy. The whole thing seemed ridiculous.
Zach Condon
I think that there's a proliferation of music that is done entirely in the bedroom for an Internet audience, but there's no way in hell that you could actually kill off a live show, and its importance in the creation of music - it's just impossible.
Zach Condon
I think it's become much harder because I'm more afraid of every step I take. I'm more aware of its ramifications, I'm more aware of the less creative aspects of music - like the business-side of things for example.
Zach Condon
It feels much more natural to move forward and grow with the instruments I've grown accustomed to. Piano, accordion, brass, ukulele.
Zach Condon
You can never not feel like that, as a working artist these days. It's funny - time off makes me nervous, but so does time on. At least the pressure wasn't coming from outside.
Zach Condon
I tend to hear rhythm and melody, chord-progressions, long before I hear words.
