When people say you're doing something radical in rock or dance music, I'm not sure how special that is. What we do is so old-fashioned. It's like trying to do something innovative in tap-dancing.

Maybe I'm used to religious music being gentler in the classical world.

Rock music is quite big in India - but it mostly just replaces all the intricacies of Indian rhythms and Indian melody with lumpen rock drumming and power chords.

I think guitarists are really over-admired and over-revered.

I'm happy to write 10 times too much music.

But over a period of time It's the melodic things that are in my head all day.

I think it should be ambitious and good music does deal with life and art and all these wonderful things.
