I prefer a life in which we don't take ourselves too seriously.
I have always loved Scottish music - all sorts of Celtic, Gaelic music.
How does my music connect to an audience? That is just a complete mystery to me.
Los Angeles is an industry town, and it has great facilities and personnel. The disadvantage is that everyone there seems to talk about the same subject matter.
I don't personally see my work as being dark. What interests me is a balance between light and dark.
Learning how to improvise really awakened my interest in music.
