Holly, i really love how your productions are embedded with rich sonic textures. i would love to learn if there are either longterm technical and/or creative inspiration for these choices?

Brandon Wells

How much of the writing & production is done by Holly before working with a producer? Or is that something that happens together from the start?

Robbie Sko

Rob plays so many instruments on Holly’s records, guitar, synth, bass, percussion, but Holly also plays piano, guitar, vibraphone, tambourine. When you are both in the room and you can both play the part, how do you decide whose hands end up on the final recording, and has that changed over the years?

Noah Henninger

Every Holly song has absolutely outstanding drum sounds. What is Rob's general method to choosing and executing his vision for the drums and percussion?

George

What are your favorite distortion / saturation plugins? It always sounds very tastefully done in the tracks. Any special treatment on the piano sound?

Would love to know how those low synth/pitched down vocal counter Melodies were made on the walls are way too thin. Also would love to know which vocoder was used on antichrist

alex oldroyd

And approach to arranging vocoders - do you write the parts line by line, as horizontal harmonies harmonising the vocal or as vertical harmonies following the chord structure?
