I flirted with the idea of learning how to produce and I spent hours and hours teaching myself how to record. I knew this years ago and many people said it to me that I need to figure out where the sound is going. I knew at some point I needed to figure out if I was going to go down the electronic route or the band route. Was that conscious decision or a happy accident?
