Jean: the most difficult thing about collaborations?

Tania: Distance mostly. A collaboration is a very personal experience for me, and i'd love to be able to spend long hours just connecting and brainstorming, where we're in the same room...but it's not often possible. When you spend most of your time working on a project away from the other people involved, it can be surreal making those intimate connections, so trust and patience are keys to the experience. It's a challenge and something that's very special to me, which is probably why i don't collaborate as much as some musicians.
