During the lifetime of Japan I became very neurotic, very paranoid.
I knew that I had to find my own voice, both figuratively and literally.
I'm obsessed with books.
I don't listen to a lot of music any more and even the people I've loved for years - the Nick Drakes of this world - I can't go back to them and listen to them over and over.
Zen Buddhism is a discipline where belief isn't necessary.
I like to explore a lot of textural, arrangement aspects in the studio.
