S: I think that isolating myself is a part of the creative process, which is sometimes not good. And sometimes it’s like downward spiral into actually being a hermit. And that’s something that I have struggled with in the past. So I guess the process is that I’m trying to figure it out and I always will be. I just have to get in the zone, be alone and just stare at the wall for a few hours and then something happens. I don’t know. It just happens.

Z: I can understand that, I feel like that makes the most sense with your sound.

S: Yeah. Because it’s such an internal process and it’s only me, right? So I need to just create something out of just me, which is crazy. I don’t know. The process is going crazy.

Z: In a nutshell, yeah, that’s what it sounds like. In that process, are there any specific instruments or kind of DIY outlandish tools you use to create sound?

S: So I do use a lot of software synthesizers for my own music production. But as far as live performances, I like to incorporate some handmade electronics that I have built. So I have the noise bra, that was the first thing I made. And then I made a noise teddy bear. And then a noise gun.

Z: I’ve seen that at your shows here! Those are so awesome. With being in Boston do you feel like the scene here is established? Would want to stay here in this scene or do you think you’d want to go and join others, like in New York?

S: I think the scene here is definitely great. Of course, it could grow. And I really want to encourage more people to just go out and make something and just get on stage. But as far as staying or going, I don’t know. I love Boston. It’s where I started out. I’m always going to love it. But I mean the scene in New York is amazing and there’s just so much going on every single day anywhere, so it’s hard to compare the two. I like to go back and forth. I think it’s a good best of both worlds, Boston and New York. I also want to definitely do a tour someday. I just want to travel around with my art.

Z: Noise is such a large genre and there’s so many different kinds of sounds and sub-genres within it. How would you place
