Hi Trevor! I absolutely love, love SpermChurch. I was remembering the other day an interview where Duane Denison describes Tomahawk as “cinematic rock” and I feel that’s a great description. To me, SpermChurch definitely has a very strong visual component too, somehow the music comes to me through imagery a la Norman McLaren. Do you feel or think of it in this way while creating/performing, or is it just me and my background in visual arts? I have seen your videos, of course, but I wonder if the music itself comes from a visual kind of place, if that makes any sense.
Anyways, thank you for all your work, it’s so inspiring. And for giving some of your time, limited as it is, for those of us who appreciate what you do. Much love

my answer:

I wouldn’t say I think visually when creating/performing but I certainly get inspiration from the plastic arts. Sannety, on the other hand, if I may speak for her, was much more of a visual thinker, being someone on the spectrum, and the majority of the SpermChurch work was conceived by her. Not sure she knew of McLaren but I bet she would have dug him.
