I know we play a part in the story of progressive music, but for us those influences are the real fathers, the ones that we were interested in.

There were some initial instruments I had when I was young and made some trade-offs. Maybe a guitar I bought in a flea market. They weren't the greatest guitar but they would be cool to still have them. Other than that, not as a professional.

Music is a communication. It's a two-way street. You need people to play to in order to make that connection complete. That's the way we look at it.

I've always said that there's a huge progressive rock, progressive metal audience out there, in the world.

We've seen progressive rock all over the world, in South America, Europe, Asia, across the US and North America and Australia. There's huge audiences for this stuff. For me it's always been there and it's just a matter of time before the people have more of the means to spread the word.

I would say the more the better when it is comes to development and marketing. It's actually fun. For some it can be a frustrating thing.

Sometimes I'll hear a certain approach that kinda cathes my ear, like „It's kinda cool what that guy's doing there", or maybe an effect that somebody's using, or a guitar sound, or something that kinda makes me open up. But the funny thing is i realise over time how sort of traditional i am.
