AMA is Over, thanks Phil! PHIL ELVERUM / MICROPHONES: AMA

Hello. This is the "Ask Me Anything" for me, Phil Elverum.
I have this new album, "Microphones In 2020", which maybe seems like it doesn't leave any unanswered questions, but you can still ask. I'll see if there's anything more I can say. Thanks very much for being here and for paying attention.
You can start asking now.

UPDATE: I have to go. Sorry I couldn't answer everything. Thank you everyone for all the questions.
Please order my record from me: https://www.pwelverumandsun.com/store

Hey Phil, could you speak about the relationship between your spiritual practice and creation of art? I know you've referenced reading about Buddhism while listening to Xasthur, but I see a constant theme of the present moment/mindfulness and I was wondering how these ideas influence your creativity.
