I need people to call me, I never remember to call anyone - otherwise I'll just sit in my house and listen to music all day.

But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.

For me, theory has always opened things up to where I can walk into a room and just by hearing something I know exactly where to go on the guitar. I have a better time playing because I have a variety of colors to bring to the table.

What really helps me is being able to record my albums at home - I have more fun experimenting that way, as opposed to working with an engineer, in which case I have to deal with the humiliation of doing take after take, and that can get frustrating.

Enclosure, upon its completion, was the record which represented the achievement of all the musical goals I had been aiming at for the previous 5 years. It was recorded simultaneously with Black Knights' Medieval Chamber, and as different as the two albums appear to be, they represent one investigative creative thought process. What I learned from one fed directly into the other. Enclosure is presently my last word on the musical statement which began with PBX.

Music is my friend, no matter where I go.

Right now my taste is going more for things that are organic where the people are using all the sonic possibilities in interesting ways.
