I actually met Chick Corea in New York, where I was staying with a bass player friend.

I am a Slavic musician and it is deeply inside of me.

I was very much fascinated with the technology we had that we could edit in the computer our compositions, but all the sounds that were available on the market were crap.

So the whole basis for jazz music is based on the fact that the bass player could not play his instrument.

I did extensive, extensive recordings and made a classical CD-ROM set, which is still on the market. For ten years, it was by itself as the cream of the crop of samples.

So I am one of those bass players who can do something and musically, it was back then and now it is even more, if you noticed on the new album, I am not playing all the time anymore.

But I have returned to one hundred percent playing this year. I am fully back to playing full time.
