“Space is the breath of art.”
—Frank Lloyd Wright

Via a great Tape Notes interview with Barry Can’t Swim on his new album Loner. I especially enjoyed hearing about how despite having two studios (home & out), he still makes the bulk of his music on the sofa with his laptop because he prioritises directness and speed of execution. Likewise, he barely uses the hardware he owns, so that he doesn’t introduce friction or lose flow by stepping away from the DAW. Other cool things: using sampled drum loops to get started quickly and then rebuilding them with your own (often foley) sounds, drops and fake drops, processing the main vocal sample to make pads, not getting locked into how you start tracks by using different elements as a base, and as alluded to by the quote above: always looking at what you can remove.
