I'd have these weird experiences where I'd just be walking down the street with this chord progression in my head, this happened more than a few times, and I'd walk home and find a fax in my machine and it would match the music in my head

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

Simon Hale, the British arranger, does all string and wood arrangements on my records

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

For my second record I had gotten ProTools and started to familiar myself with hard disc recording.
