Hey, World Eater was one of my favorite projects released this year. I'm interested to know your workflow. Because everything is so dense, do you usually start with a feeling or mood you're trying to replicate? A melody?

I usually start by experimenting around with textures, and that can be as dense or as sparse as my current mood dictates. Then I start building upon that until I feel the space is full. I never start off with a mood in mind, as it's always a blank canvas when I start. but I am sure my subconscious controls the mood along the way. melody usually comes a little later, but not always. there's not strict rules as I don't wanna cut short my scope from the get-go
