Start with the titles, and then build the music that goes with them.

You're on the stage and you've got all those people yelling at you, so you better be right in the moment, reacting to that. It's completely live and organic. Even 20 years later, it's the same thing. You may be even better on your instrument. Hopefully, you are.

Ive also just come off a year and a half playing acoustic shows which is fantastic for the hands, and changes your head a little bit.

It's exciting to see if you can create something that sounds, at least to your own ears, exciting.

Aping what you've already done is just so dangerous and unrewarding.

I'm just trying to avoid any sort of generic kind of music - I don't want to do generic jazz or fusion.

For me, the guitar synthesizer is a great writing instrument.
