Why don't I do more selfie films?

I hate doing videos. I'm mostly performing for myself, and that's easier without the visuals.


Plus I think it's cheesy. I prefer to think of myself as an experimental filmmaker rather than an influencer. -


My videos are cool, though. The one-take thing was something I thought was important .. it's more impressive.


The ambient sounds + music were something my brother and I were obsessed with. -


Portrait of a Knight uses more overseas samples, because Stephen wanted the Ambisonics sound for our ambient tracks, but nobody had recorded NZ with those, so he used Tokyo as the main one.


Those aren't the mics we used for Fresh Culture. That's a mid-side stereo setup, I think... I forget what mics those were. -


Because I'm a guitarist, I totally find playing with/against the ambience is part of the craft.

Classical guitars aren't that loud, and they don't sustain all that well, so it's about picking moments. 4'33 lol.
