“Don’t pay attention to what anyone is telling you about your personal journey just keep going, because that’s what it’s all about.”

I’ve been trying to make records and I describe it almost like a “movie for your ears” where it’s a little unconventional in its shape and form, but there’s something that’s intriguing in keeping you wanting to wait and see the next frame of film, except in here what’s coming around the corner for your ears.

We came off the road of the last tour very inspired to just keep playing, so we went to Canada.

Along with you, I have witnessed the unfortunate rise in gasoline prices that has accompanied the summer driving season and the more recent spike in prices due to Hurricane Katrina.

Sometimes I hear a drum groove in my head and I rush down to my studio.

So I was always around music and my dad was in his own way a progressive jazzer, a big band jazzer guy.

So for my studio purposes, I know that I’m in my studio with technicians who’ve done amazing things to my board and to my power amps and I know what I can deliver out of my studio.

I have always enjoyed different kinds of music.

I dont have any assistants, I do it all myself, I dont have any secretaries.

So one can say that I write all the time, that goes for the lyrics as well.

You have to let your music be true and then people who want to adopt it as that, they take it on and they love it, and it changes their world.

I’d written songs with lots of people, from one spectrum to the other.

I’ve had the luxury of owning my own studio, 24 analogue, 48 digital, endless effects, endless hardcore gear, that I don’t have to rent, I don’t get stuck with the bills, it’s all mine.

I grew up in a very musical family, my father was a musician and a big band leader and made records.
