TRANSCRIPT
A dream collaboration – I would love to work with the 1975.
I feel like we have a lot of similar influences. They even have the same console that I have, which is kind of rare. It’s one of the actually the big reasons I can’t send sessions back and forth to people is because they don’t have that and so that would work out.
And I just feel like they would have a lot of fun in my studio with synths and instruments.
Everybody has to be here because I have all the gear that I want here and I know how my room sounds and everything set up exactly how I want to work.
