Create A Paradise Anywhere You Go.

Over The Last 10 Years, There Have Been So Many Incredible Albums Created In Bedrooms By People Who Never Would've Gotten An Album Deal. People Keep Thinking Of Professional Music Studios Like They've Always Been This Way For Hundreds Of Years, But They're Very Much A Child Of The 70s. Even The Interior Is Very 70s. Everything's Brown And It's Wood - Somebody Told Me The Wood Panels Are All By The Same Company. We're Always Mourning Things That Have Died. It's A Bit Much Sometimes. These Studios Have No Fresh Air, And There's This Unwritten Rule That They Don't Have Windows, Either.

The Relationship Changes As You Learn More About People, And The Work Sort Of Takes On Its Own Life. I Enjoy This Very Much.

What We Are Saying Is, We've Got Three Aluminum Factories, Let's Work With That, We Cannot Change That. Why Not Have The Icelandic People Who Are Educated In High-tech And Work Already In Those Factories In The Higher Paid Jobs, Why Not Let Them Build Little Companies Who Are Totally Icelandic With The Knowledge They Have? Then They Get The Money And It Stays In The Country. Then We Can Support The Biotech Companies And The Food Companies And All These Clusters. I Think That If You Want To Be An Environmentalist In Iceland, These Are The Things You've Got To Be Putting Your Energy Into.

There's More To Life Than This

I've Never Done An Album Like This. With Biophilia, I Was Being Like Kofi Annan - I Had To Be The Pacifist To Try To Unite The Impossible. Maybe That Was A Strange, Personal Job Between Me And Myself, To Show How Overreaching I Was Being As A Woman. The Only Way I Could Express That Was By Comparing It To The Universe.
