We're touring nine to 14 weeks a year and are starting to fill theaters that hold up to 2,000 people. So we are actually paying bills with this - not all our bills, you know, but at least the essential ones. We're not entirely in the dark.
We do a lot with a little. We also have composed modern classical music for orchestras, so that helps us understand how to voice and temper our uses of instruments.
It seems like it's the classic of classics. I think we had been avoiding it for a little while.
For us, silence is an active catalyst for inspiration. It inspires us to make a racket.
By now, we're heavily scoring and writing harmonically interesting parts that we play every night and try to perfect timing-wise. It's an awesome challenge.
It was cool because we were improvising, and it was nice that we had the film to tell us where to go.
