I always wanted to work alone. With Ixelair, I found out that letting people in doesn’t have to mean losing my own way of doing things.

Good preparation, people who listen, and enough time left to experiment. Very happy with that session.

We work with Ixelair when it feels right, and they’ve always respected the way we want to do things. A few casual conversations have turned into music we’re really proud of.

Would make another record with them tomorrow.

Through Ixelair, I get to do what I love. No one tells me how to make it, how much to make or when to make it. I get to follow the ideas when they come.

That note about the low end was spot on. Fixed it, listened back, and suddenly the whole track sat better.

Between work and family, music has to fit around life. Ixelair lets me take it a little more seriously, without the constant pressure. I make time when I can. When I can’t, that’s okay too.

Some of my favourite photos came out of that collaboration. They had a strong feeling for the project and gave me the space to bring something of my own to it. I left genuinely excited to show people what we’d made.

Ixelair brings ideas about what we could create and where our music could go. We always get to choose, without pressure to perform. Meeting these people opened a whole new door for my music.

What I appreciated most was the follow-through. If we agreed something, it happened. That gave me a lot of confidence as we got closer to release day.

The first rehearsal with the music was quite something. A scene we’d been struggling with suddenly felt right. I got a bit quiet, actually.

They really understood the atmosphere we wanted. The music ended up being one of the things people kept mentioning afterwards.
