“ Jacknife had given me a few CDs to listen to; everything from Amerie to [György] Ligeti. I’d already been listening to Missy Elliott and that sort of post-modern hip-hop, and then I was given a choral score by [Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki] called St. Luke Passion, and I listened to that obsessively for a while. A lot of composers, like Philip Glass, gave me inspiration — with Ligeti, you get this amazing sense of atmosphere and tone and really close discords and harmonies. If you’re not a classical musician, you always have the idea that classical music is something that’s ornate and pretty, but it was amazing to hear something that was completely dark and sinister and huge. It just really made me want to try something different. I mean, I don’t think we set out to make a neo-classical record [laughs], but I do think we relied on that kind of atmosphere.
