Tim Brunsden: “Summarise your style and vision.”
Hildebrand: “Well, with every the projects my vision is to pull it all together – combine it into one concept. Part of that is to mix it coherently and use the same styles across the record, yet still introduce different attitudes in the songs. That is my main aim.
