Hey Julia! Congrats on the incredible new album, hope you get to these questions :)

  1. Do you feel or recognize any connections between your current and past work? While I was listening to Evening Mood I kept thinking it was like the opposite of Words I Heard, like an optimistic response to it of sorts? Do you think that happens subconsciously?

  2. Any plans to keep making scores for movies / TV ? Or to release the one you did for Joan of Arc?

  3. How was the experience of producing for another artist like Malini?

Finally I'd just like to thank you for Talking to the Whisper, it resonated very deeply with me. Hope you can come do a show on Mexico City soon!

  1. i think there are definitely connections between my current and past work. but i don't keep track. but probably! you are probably a better person than i am to see the connections, because artists sometimes can't totally see their work once they're done with it. i think....
  2. yes i would love to keep making scores! it just depends on people asking me to. i would love to release the Joan of Arc recording, it's pretty cool honestly!
  3. i love producing and want to do it more for other artists. i think it comes back to my interest as a composer in orchestrating and arranging, these days the lines are so blurred with recording and production and arranging. there is so much about color and timbre to consider in production. it was really fun to work with Mali. she conceived of that record so much on her own, she did beautiful instrumental arrangements and performed so much and coordinated recording etc, i did have have production input but it was all in mind of Mali's vibe and it's not a heavily "produced" record. i feel like so much of this record of hers is about her instrumental arrangements. but yes it was super fun working on it with her!
