In the liner notes, music is fine by itself. It doesn't need any explanation.

I try to put what's evocative in the music to me, I try and put that out there in terms of titles and imagery, or implication towards the listener.

Being a professional does not have a very high standard.

You try to improvise in a compositional manner. You don't just do some stupid lick you've been practicing, scale form exercises or something.

I'm not going to limit myself in ways to compose or how I should record. You just do what you can with what you've got at the moment.

In America we're in this awful situation, and you know, I hardly get any royalties anymore because music is just stolen from the internet.

Sometimes I feel like a one man crusade against the devaluation of music in America and culture in the arts.
