'Triboluminescence' is actually a scientific world meaning striking something and creating light from dark. I thought it was a great word and that is was a very apt metaphor for making music - or any creative act, really. We all start in the dark and have to create light.

It's been very hard for the guitar as a serious synthesizer to compete with keyboards.

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

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

Actually, I think my hands are in the best shape they've ever been in terms of what I can do.

My favorite sounds are the high, spacey ones that are very ambient.
