The problem was the journalists who also did not understand much of my music, but they wrote about it. I think you fell into the usual trap laid out by parts of the press and other writers: that the poor musician has always to fight the evil companies and managers.

Because, also the world of showbiz is not just black and white, good and bad.

I went solo because I could do much better what I wanted to do. I didn't have to ask or discuss things and ideas that are already shaped in my head.

We are all part of a tradition, at least we depend on the past.

As always in a musical collaboration: One has to like each other. As simple as that.

Sometimes I like to make music together with a singer or with singers.

I never had many problems to do my music and to give it to a record company. Rarely do they try to argue with me about my music, probably because it's still too far-out.
