Daniel Porter (At the Heart Of The World – guitar/programmer)

SPB: Do you wear earplugs when you play? Why/why not?

Daniel: I wear them when I watch other bands but not when we play. Partly because I’m dumb and don’t value my hearing it seems and partly because they weirdly take me out of the playing environment, I like to hear the volume and feedback. It also sounds weird to me when moving around a lot with them in, but standing still and watching another band sounds fine.
