lifelike — i wanted to start off the album with the simplest and most fundamental possible sounds, which is that “sample pop” and then the sound of the piano #nurture

LOOK AT THE SKY -- i sat on that opening hook since like 2016 and but i only really made progress on the songwriting in 2018 when rika and i took a trip to japan and i worked out of a studio there for a few weeks. that inspired me so much #nurture

@porterrobinson
the countermelody synth in look at the sky that sounds like a female vocal is called "Fire emblem lead' in the project for some god damn reason #nurture

@porterrobinson
the sort of "broken vocal" sound effect at the end of language was legitimately my microphone having some weird issue, i tried to record as much on it as possible because i knew i would never be able to remake that sound #nurture

@porterrobinson
i thought that being able to predict the negative things people will think and say about you, and changing yourself to accomodate that, was a virtue for a long time. So so so fucking wrong #nurture

@porterrobinson
sometimes, the inner voice is encouraging.
calling for you to run those final few yards,
you're nearly there, keep going, keep going -
it will all be okay in the end.
