0:15:58 > 0:15:59Why?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02It was kind of a way of lifting the veil on the recording process,
0:16:02 > 0:16:06cos I think generally, there's been a kind of fashion
0:16:06 > 0:16:10in the music industry to make it seem so much...
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Almost so much harder than it is and so mysterious,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16and I just wanted to show people you can just sit in a chair
0:16:16 > 0:16:20and play a song with some mics around you.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41but I actually think it helped, because I'm more of a live artist
0:16:41 > 0:16:43than I am a studio artist, and it kind of bridged the gap.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Ah, yes. Are you going to do it again with your next one?
0:16:47 > 0:16:48I think so.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I'm still deconstructing it
0:16:50 > 0:16:52and looking at what the implications were of doing it.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Because it had never been done before,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57we're still working out what it meant.
