As a singer-songwriter, what I do is write about how the human feels.

Bjork

I’ve written arrangements for choirs and strings in the past, but I usually write music with my voice or a keyboard and then I’ll get someone who is good at writing scores to write it out. Or, if I have the luxury of time.

Part of me is probably more conservative than people realise. I like my old string quartets, I don’t like music that’s trippy for trippy’s sake.

You get inspired and you can go write one song from that, and then you go back and play a few shows. If I could’ve done that in the 90s, I would have.
