With a rock band, you play the same things over and over and over.
The way I create music is maybe like a painting, to compose in a more visual way. Basically it's the music that I want to hear- that's my inspiration and bottom line. I just try to get ideas from books, movies, paintings.
I really didn't intend to be a musician when I left Japan.
I've done some music for films and I really enjoy doing it.
I'm interested in stories and the dark side of peoples' minds.
Improvising things is always changing. A lot of momentum.
