My best stuff is written when I am pressured. A sense of spontinaety and fire comes out when I go into the studio because I don't have the songs written two months ahead of time. For me this is the most important thing. Improvisation is the tool that I use. I want to get into it seriously someday.
Nothing is better than finishing a session in the studio.
So much gets done and the result is very satisfying. Learning new things all the time is also very gratifying. I am at the point now of figuring out what direction I want to take my second album.
