Guitar Quote by Jenny Hval

“I couldn't even have a guitar. But I got a three-track recorder that was so small that I could take it with me. Then I started recording and writing properly. I recorded lots of voices, not just my own. I was interested in people speaking and singing English and trying out words.” quote by Jenny Hval — Download Open image
