I want less and less control with music. Just playing music without any idea of composition or writing.
Most of the time I like to start an album abroad, not at home, just to avoid the pressure, to not wake up and think, OK, its the first of recording this album. I like to avoid that.
I started making music with my band in the '80s, so I am more product of post punk than classical music, and I have always carried on this way.
When I'm working in the studio, I like to be on my own because I don't know where I'm going; I want to be completely free to spend lots of time on songs.
