One minute we're over here, the next minute we're doing something completely different. But it's interesting because you are producing so many things you couldn't do with analog.

It's not jazz as we know jazz here in America.

My chops were not as fast... [but] I just learned more on what was in my mind than what was in my chops. I learned a long time ago that one note can go a long way if it's the right one, and it will probably whip the guy with twenty notes

When you just get mixed up & there's too much going on, then it's time to pick up your guitar.

..I wanted to create music that was so different that my mother could tell me from anyone else

To this day, no one has come up with a set of rules for originality. There aren't any.

I wanted something very dense, something that would sustain long and more pieces of wood that would be soft, sweet, for more of a mellow sound.
