In Conversation: Julianna Barwick
“It's just sort of this visceral emotive improvisational process. It starts with complete improvisation, like within ‘Inspirit’, that was me messing around with my vocal pedal and that melody just came out of nowhere, and I just pressed record so I wouldn't lose it.
“It’s kind of interesting how it just magically appears, and it's all rooted in emotion so it's very immediate. It's just right there in that moment, whatever comes through, whatever I'm feeling, whatever I'm thinking about, and there's really no altering it later; I’m not tinkering with lyrics or anything.”
I had the pleasure of speaking to Julianna Barwick, who told me all about her new album Healing is a Miracle. You can read that on Clash.
