I got a publishing deal with BMG, they were supportive, and some money to record demos

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.

Lately I've been a workaholic. I'm in the studio all the time and I've helped to produce a couple of artists

I feel fortunate about being able to make the music I want to make and getting away with it

So I started chanting when I was nineteen, which was about twelve years ago, and it really had a huge impact on my outlook, happiness, and general creativity.

But I can't really say there is too much modern music that I'm blown away by at this moment

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