Hi Josh, I don't know if you remember me but I was the kid that was wearing the "what does your soul look like?" shirt in your NYC mountain will fall show, which was one of my best experiences ever. We shook hands near the end. I have immense respect to your work and many questions.
How many records would you listen to each week when you're looking for samples, inspiration or just leisure.
Do you have a special technique to pick up records? Like the labels for example, what are the leads that you look for?
There are many of your tracks that no one has figured out the samples. For example, the one at the start of what does your soul look like part 2, Redeemed (to name a few)and some parts of find share rewind. I know you said the fun part is figure them out, but would you ever disclose them?
Your music videos are absolutely incredible with amazing cinematographic expertise, I like the ones for the private press like six days and you can't go home again. The ones in YouTube are in very low quality. Do high quality versions exist? How was your input on the music videos? Six Days is a masterpiece, how was working g with Deakins and Wong Kar-Wai?
In one interview you said that in the shadowsphere tour you felt you sacrificed part of the music and replaced it with visuals and showmanship. How do you feel about that now? Do you think visuals can overshadow music?
What do you think of the music and sampling scenes now a days?
And finally, do you have a favourite artist? What artists would you recommend that have matches your style.
I associate many of your songs to what film soundtracks sound like - part of the reason why I pursued film for my career. Your music really moved me and shaped me! Immense respect!
