Thighpaulsandra Quotes 416688

I still use a lot of cut-ups, I physically cut-up pieces of paper and stick them all together on another piece of paper then I'll think, "Ah, that looks good," or shuffle them around a bit and then I'll photocopy it and then that's my lyrics. — Thighpaulsandra

Thighpaulsandra Quotes 1227181

It's the way I make music, I will take two ideas and smash them together and if they sit well together for me then that's fine, and it's the same with the lyrics - if I see a couple of lines and I like the way they look on the page then I'll use them. I find they take on a meaning of their own, it's very difficult to explain how I actually go about all that. — Thighpaulsandra

Thighpaulsandra Quotes 1058458

I grew up in the South Wales valleys, but I think my parents realised from quite an early age that if they hadn't sent me to boarding school I would have probably gone to prison. And it cost them absolutely everything. — Thighpaulsandra

Thighpaulsandra Quotes 1253942

Thighpaulsandra Quotes 1942089

I do take a computer to do some processing live and I might use a couple of plug-in synthesisers, 'cause obviously you can take quite a lot of power in terms of sound generation on a computer that I can trigger from a couple of keyboards.

But I still take some vintage stuff with me, I'll take that risk because I like using all that stuff. — Thighpaulsandra

Thighpaulsandra Quotes 1919553

I tend to work in the mornings, then take a few hours off in the afternoon to walk the dog, and then come back and work in the evening.

Thighpaulsandra Quotes 677753

The thing I've learned is it's good to restrict your palette somewhat. I will try and, say, use two or three instruments on one track. You learn, after a while, they're all good at certain things and other things fall outside of the natural areas they work well in, so I tend to stick with what they do best. — Thighpaulsandra
