Read the full interview via the link in the bio. 🌾 *** ID: A roundup of quotes from an interview with musicians Meg Remy and Max Turnbull that read... Slide 1: "Collaborators can be like relationships. You meet someone, you fall in love. It’s so intense right away. You’re spending every minute together, and then something just goes sour, and that’s done and you break up, and that can happen with collaborators." - Meg Remy Slide 2: "A big part of collaboration right now is beating back our expectations about how we should be interacting with the industry and how this music should be 'performing' in those contexts. A huge part of the labor right now is trying to be a strength for one another." - Max Turnbull Slide 3: "What always counters capitalism is just continuing to make things in its face, and trying as much as possible to make things based on my ideas and how I’m feeling rather than how it will play out within the system, or whether this system will allow me to do it." - Meg Remy Slide 4: "What does [your conscious experience] feel like from moment to moment, instead of this abstract, analytical thing where you’re looking at metrics. What does your life feel like? And what is your pursuit of creativity contributing to that conscious sense of an individual, a community?" - Max Turnbull Slide 5: "It’s not metrics-based. It’s not money-based, numbers-based. It’s more like how you feel in your body with yourself when you sit and think about your life. Can you be alone? Can you sit alone by yourself with no attention? That is success for me, with a calm brain." - Meg Remy
