I think my Buddhist practice has a profound influence on my life and encompasses my creative projects

My first two records were more energetic; Phantom Moon is subtle, quiet; so these various reactions are just something I expected

I'm fortunate I have this coterie of musicians around me to help take music to next level. Being surrounded by so much creative energy, so many creative people really feeds that creativity in me

If I were to do this over I'd play a lot more shows before I made a record

Emerson, Lake & Palmer or King Crimson or Gentle Giant - the worst prog rock references I can come up with. Though I totally loved those groups as a kid.

I certainly wouldn't say that my life is a disaster, but there have been moments where I've felt like that

I make the kind of music I like
