मुझे याद है कि जब मैं 'लूनी ट्यून्स' के कार्टून देखता था, तो उनका संगीत मेरे दिमाग में बस जाता था।
I remember watching Looney Tunes cartoons and having the music stuck in my head.

मुझे ऐसी चीज़ें पसंद हैं जो निराशाजनक और अंधकार से शुरू होती हैं और जिनका अंत बेहद रूमानी होता है, और 'किंग कॉन्ग' की यही बात मुझे सबसे ज़्यादा पसंद आई थी।
I like things that start depressing and dark and end up romantic, and thats what I really loved about King Kong.

मैं हमेशा अपने पसंदीदा संगीत को फिल्मों से जोड़कर देखता था।
I always related my favorite music to the movies.

मैंने जो पहला गाना लिखा था, वह 'इमैजिनरीलैंड' का "लुक बोथ वेज़ बिफोर यू क्रॉस" था। मैंने उस गाने की शुरुआत एक बेसलाइन गाकर की थी, "हू हू हू हू।"
The first song I wrote was "Look Both Ways Before You Cross" from Imaginaryland. I started the song by singing a bass line, "hoo hoo hoo hoo."

'द कन्वर्सेशन' एक ऐसी फिल्म है जिसे मैंने शायद पहली बार 2000 के दशक की शुरुआत में देखा था। मुझे इसका पियानो और इसका सीधा-साधापन तुरंत भा गया था।
The Conversation was a movie I saw probably for the first time in the early 2000s. I immediately loved the piano and just how simple it is.

हारमनी हमेशा से हमारे लिए बेहद स्वाभाविक रही है क्योंकि हमने बहुत कम उम्र में ही हारमनी में गाना शुरू कर दिया था। बड़े होते हुए हमने कई तरह का संगीत सुना था।
Harmony has always come very natural to us because we started singing harmony at an early age. We heard a lot of different music growing up.

मैंने आठ से तेरह साल की उम्र तक वायलिन बजाया था, इसलिए मैं थोड़ा-बहुत पढ़ सकता हूँ, लेकिन अगर आप आज मेरे सामने संगीत का कोई पन्ना रख दें, तो शायद मैं सुरों को पहचान लूँगा, पर उनकी टाइमिंग यानी उन्हें कैसे बजाया जाना चाहिए, यह नहीं समझ पाऊँगा, और मुझे कॉर्ड्स पढ़ना भी नहीं आता। अगर मैंने इसे जारी रखा होता, तो शायद आज मेरे पास और काम होते।
I played violin from when I was about eight to thirteen, so I could read a little bit, but if you put a piece of music in front of me now, I would probably know the notes, but not the timing, how they're supposed to be played, and I just don't know how to read chords. If I'd stuck with it, I'd probably have more jobs.

मेरी ननिहाल में मेरे नाना-नानी एक मंडोलिन ऑर्केस्ट्रा में बजाते थे। इसलिए जब भी मैं मंडोलिन की आवाज़ सुनता हूँ, मुझे तुरंत उनकी याद आ जाती है।
My grandparents on my mom's side played in a mandolin orchestra. So when I hear mandolins, I automatically think of them.

मैं बस स्टूडियो में रिकॉर्डिंग करता था, जहाँ लोग मेरे लिए बटन दबाया करते थे। इसलिए मैंने अपनी आवाज़ से ही बेसलाइन और गिटार के हिस्से रिकॉर्ड करना शुरू किया, शास्त्रीय धुनों को गाया, या फिर बस अपनी तरफ से धुनें बनाईं ताकि सीख सकूँ कि इसका इस्तेमाल कैसे किया जाता है।
I just recorded in studios, you know, people pressed the buttons for me. So I just started recording the bass lines and guitar parts with my voice, covering classical pieces, or just making up melodies so I could learn how to use it.

हमारे पापा हमें 'द कार्टर फैमिली' के पुराने कंट्री गाने बहुत सुनाते थे और साथ में खुद भी गाते थे। मुझे उन्हें गाते हुए सुनना बहुत अच्छा लगता था।
Our dad played us a lot of old country songs by The Carter Family and he would sing along to it. I loved listening to him sing.

जब हमें रिकॉर्डिंग और टूर से ब्रेक मिलता था, तो मैं बस उदास-उदास घूमती रहती थी कि अब क्या करूँ। इतनी व्यस्त ज़िंदगी के बाद वापस आम जिंदगी में ढलना बहुत मुश्किल होता था।
When we were on breaks from recording and touring, I was kind of moping around, like not knowing what to do. It was hard to adjust back to normal life after being so busy.

लोग साफ-सुथरी आवाज़ सुनना चाहते हैं; वे बैकग्राउंड में खांसने की आवाज़ या पन्ने पलटने की सरसराहट नहीं सुनना चाहते।
People want to hear clean sounds; they don't want to hear coughing in the background, pages turning.

जब मैंने 'इमैजिनरीलैंड' रिलीज़ की, तो मैंने बहुत सुना, "अरे, वह तो लॉरी एंडरसन की नकल कर रही है।" और मैंने सोचा, अरे... पर मैं तो उनका संगीत जानती ही नहीं! शायद... क्या उनका एक गाना "सुपरमैन" नहीं था?
I put out Imaginaryland, I heard a lot of, "Oh she's copying Laurie Anderson," and I was like, wait... but I don't know her music! Maybe - didn't she have a song called "Superman"?

स्कूल की पढ़ाई खत्म होने के लगभग एक साल बाद, मैंने कैसैट पर चलने वाला एक नया 4-ट्रैक रिकॉर्डर लिया। कुछ समय तक तो मैं बस उसे घूरती रहती थी और सोचती थी कि अगर मुझे गिटार या कीबोर्ड बजाना नहीं आता, तो मैं यह सब कैसे करूँगी? जब मुझे कोई वाद्य यंत्र बजाना ही नहीं आता, तो मैं गाना लिख और रिकॉर्ड कैसे करूँगी? मतलब, मैं वायलिन ज़रूर बजा लेती थी, लेकिन मुझे 4-ट्रैक चलाने के बारे में कुछ नहीं पता था।
I got a new 4-track cassette recorder a year or so after high school. For a while I would just stare at it thinking, how am I going to do this if I don't play guitar or keyboards? How am I going to write and record a song if I don't know how to play any instruments? I mean, I played the violin, but I didn't know anything about how to work a 4-track.

मैं मेरिडथ मॉन्क को नहीं जानती थी, और लॉरी एंडरसन के बारे में सुना तो था, पर उनका संगीत मुझे ज़्यादा अच्छे से पता नहीं था।
I didn't know who Meredith Monk was, and I knew about Laurie Anderson but I didn't know her music that well.

मेरी खूबी यह है कि मैं अपने पसंदीदा संगीत के साथ सुर मिलाकर गा सकती हूँ। मतलब, कौन जाने, शायद मुझमें भी लिखने की कला या योग्यता विकसित हो जाए, और सच कहूँ तो मैं दोस्तों के साथ मिलकर गाने लिखती भी हूँ, जो कि काफी मज़ेदार होता है। इससे मुझे बोल (lyrics) लिखने की चिंता नहीं करनी पड़ती, क्योंकि मेरे लिए गाने के बोल लिखना नामुमकिन है।
My forte is playing along and singing along to music I love. I mean, who knows, maybe I could develop that knack or develop that ability to write, and I do actually co-write with people and friends, which is fun, too, because then I don't have to worry about writing lyrics, because for me writing lyrics is impossible.

गाना और उसके बोल लिखने के लिए आपका कवि होना ज़रूरी है।

आखिरकार, मेरे पास इतनी सारी छोटी-छोटी धुनें और विचार जमा हो गए थे कि वे सब मेरे लिए गाने बन चुके थे। फिर मैंने उसमें कुछ कवर सॉन्ग भी डाल दिए, जैसे एन्या का "वाटरमार्क", बाख का संगीत, और मेरे पापा का गाना "सॉन्ग फॉर द वेल्स"।
Eventually I had so many little melodies and ideas that, you know, that they were all songs to me and I threw in a few cover songs like Enya's "Watermark," Bach, and my dad's song, "Song for the Whales."

मुझे बाख का 'प्रेल्यूड नंबर 2 इन सी माइनर' बहुत पसंद है और वह मेरे दिमाग में बस गया था: क्यों न मैं इसे 'इमैजिनरीलैंड' में डालूँ? इसलिए मैं इसे अपने दोस्त टॉम ग्रिमले के पास ले गई, जिन्होंने 'द डॉग' का पहला एल्बम रिकॉर्ड किया था। मैंने उन्हें अपने सारे अकापेला (बिना वाद्य यंत्र के गाए गए) टुकड़े सुनाए, और उन्होंने कहा, "पी, तुम्हें वाकई एक एल्बम बनाना चाहिए, यह बहुत बढ़िया रहेगा! तुम इसे मेरे स्टूडियो में रिकॉर्ड कर सकती हो और मैं इसे रिलीज़ करूँगा!"
I love the Bach Prelude No. 2 in C Minor and had that stuck in my head: why don't I put this on Imaginaryland? So I brought it to my friend Tom Grimley who recorded That Dog's first record. I played him all my a cappella pieces, and he said, "P, you should really make a record, it would be great! You can record it at my studio and I'll put it out!"

यह मेरा सबसे पसंदीदा फिल्म संगीत है क्योंकि क्रिस्टोफर रीव पर मेरा बहुत क्रश था। उस संगीत ने मुझे उनके प्यार में और भी पागल कर दिया। क्या आपने कभी महसूस किया है कि फिल्म का संगीत आपको किरदारों के प्यार में डाल देता है? मेरे साथ भी बिल्कुल ऐसा ही हुआ था।
It's my favorite movie score and because I had such a crush on Christopher Reeve. The music made me love him even more. You know when you hear music in a movie and it makes you fall in love with the characters? That's what happened.

मैंने सोचा कि वायलिन बजाने और किसी बैंड में बैकअप वोकल देने के अलावा मुझे और क्या करना चाहिए। गलत मत समझिए, 'द डॉग' बैंड में बजाना और गाना वाकई बहुत मज़ेदार था, लेकिन मैं दूसरे संगीत प्रोजेक्ट्स पर काम करना चाहती थी और ज़्यादा गाना चाहती थी। इसलिए मैंने वोकल पर आधारित एक प्रोजेक्ट शुरू किया, यानी 'इमैजिनरीलैंड'।
I thought about what I wanted to do besides playing violin and singing backup in a band. Don't get me wrong, playing and singing in That Dog was really fun, but I wanted to work on other musical projects and sing more. So I started a vocal project, i.e. Imaginaryland.

लोग कविताएँ और गाने लिखने की पैदाइशी खूबी के साथ पैदा होते हैं। मैं ज़रा भी कवित्री नहीं हूँ।

द हू (The Who) बैंड के बारे में सब जानते हैं, पर मैं नहीं जानती थी। मैं उनके कुछ मशहूर गाने जानती थी जैसे "आई कैन सी फॉर माइल्स"। तो मैंने सबसे पहले उसी गाने पर काम किया क्योंकि वह सबसे ज़्यादा कैची और आसान था।
Everyone knows about The Who, but I didn't. I knew the popular songs like "I Can See For Miles." So that was the first song I worked on because it was the catchiest and easiest.

मैं पहले ही दो कवर एल्बम बना चुकी हूँ। मुझे नहीं पता, शायद एक और एल्बम बनाना सही न हो, लेकिन मैंने लेड ज़ेपेलिन का गाना बस मजे-मजे में कर लिया, और मुझे लगा कि मैं इसे जल्दी कर सकती हूँ क्योंकि जो गाने मुझे बहुत पसंद होते हैं, उन्हें मैं झटपट तैयार कर लेती हूँ।
I've already done two cover albums. I don't know, maybe it wouldn't be a good idea to do another, but I just did the Led Zeppelin song for fun, and I thought I could do it kind of quick since songs that I love a lot I can do fast.

मुझे गाना लिखना नहीं आता था—जैसे अंतरा, मुखड़ा, अंतरा, मुखड़ा, ब्रिज, अंतरा—और न ही मुझे बोल लिखना आते थे, इसलिए मैंने सोचा कि मुझे इन सब बंधनों में बंधकर गाना बनाने की कोई ज़रूरत ही नहीं है। मैं अपनी मर्ज़ी से किसी भी तरह गा सकती हूँ। मैंने अपनी आवाज़ से ही सारे वाद्ययंत्रों की धुनें निकालीं और बस बहती चली गई।
I didn't know how write a song, (verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus, bridge, verse), etc., and I didn't know how to write lyrics, so that's when I thought, well, I don't have to write a song with all those verses and choruses or lyrics. I can just sing everything the way I want to. So I sang all the instruments with my voice and just went with it.
