Around the age of 23... some sort of metamorphosis. Anything I wrote from them on, whether poetry or music, I can still relate to now.
Our issue is dedicated to The Metamorphosis. What inspire or suggest you this term or word? Do you feel any metamorphosisalong your life (in a metaphorical way, of course)?
I feel like there's a certain point in our lives when we start having themoral and creative voice that we're going to have for the rest of our lives,or at least the next stage of it. For me that happened around the time thatwe were recording Different Stars. My singing voice shifted quite a bit,and I started to formulate the feelings and priorities that I still have now.Around the age of 23... some sort of metamorphosis. Anything I wrotefrom them on, whether poetry or music, I can still relate to now.About when I started recording the Lotte Kestner solo album I think myvoice was changing again. Maybe due to the music I was listening to, and just the natural fact of my voice getting a bit softer and higher as timewent by. I think my songs have sounded quite different over the past 3years, though the rest of me is still on the same path.
How were your childhood and your younger years?
I think my relationships with my siblings had an effect on the music Iwould make later. My brother was ten years older and had a massivevinyl collection, always making me mix tapes and introducing me to morecomplicated music than my friends were listening to. And my younger sister and I spent most of our free time writing songs together, givingconcerts in the driveway, and pretending to be our favorite artists.
Had the music an important part in your life when you grew up?
 Yes, I sang every day on the playground and gave concerts to my friendsin my backyard, though generally that was more about being able tomimic the voices of people in musicals, and less about having a voice of my own. And at a young age I asked my parents if I could start takingpiano lessons, which I followed through with for years, playing talentshows and recitals.
