'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.

I think we are coming to a new era where people will record much faster.

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

Of course the playing is important but writing and the establishing of what you are going for is prime too.

I actually think I play better now than Ive ever played.

Im better for it and I prefer to keep things simple and see what sounds I can get out of my head and hands rather than relying on a sound that someone else created.

More recently, I used guitar synthesizer extensively on the two albums I did with Robert Fripp.
