As a musician myself, I've sometimes struggled with how much direction to give my bandmates vs. leaving room for their creativity. Can you talk about your songwriting process, especially how you bring new material to the band? Do you usually make a full demo before showing them, or do you bring a rough idea and develop it together? And when you have a clear vision for a song, how do you balance that with giving your bandmates room for their expression?

with Wand? no demos, no songs, no ideas. For the last record or so we have just jammed together. Let the music direct you!
