David Lancaster on ideas, influences and being a Birtwistle fanboy
Q: Do you ever jump ahead in the list, think, oh, I've got a load of momentum, all of a sudden I've had an idea about this, or can it be quite regimented?

Frankie Archer on electrofolk, tragic stories, MIDI controllers and the North East
Q: How does that start as an idea?
Starting with the targeted Instagram ad for a new MIDI controller I saw. It looked cool and I bought it, thinking how I could involve the audience in the music.

Q: So how does that work? Do you sit at the keyboard one day and think, it's time, I'm going to work on Lucy Wan today?
Sometimes I have no feeling. It's almost like something in the back of my mind tells me I'm a bit peckish today, I feel like writing a tune today.
Frankie Archer on electrofolk, tragic stories, MIDI controllers and the North East
Q: At what point did you realize that was something that you could do and you could do really well?
I didn't set out to make a kind of electronic folk sound. I just set about arranging stuff because I was interested in old tunes and old songs.
