Making art is about accepting what’s going on around you and turning it into

For me, living and making music, they're one thing. It's not like a job that I go to a studio to do, or a chore that I have to get myself in the mood to do, or something. It's the thing that I need to do every day.

Any guitar solo should reflect the music that it's soloing over and not just be existing in its own sort of little world.

The main thing experience has taught me is that one has to sort of hone their relationship to time, you know.

I don't have an extensive background in theory, but the amount of it that I've learned, I've applied, so I have a vocabulary of melodic and rhythmic relationships. And that's all theory is - it's symbols to help you identify those relationships.

We are all very lucky to live in a world where there is this much music.

My music, my whole approach to the synthesizer has completely changed now.
