We all have different musical instincts, and I think they're precious and should be respected.

Yes, alas, I've been on some recording sessions where the music wasn't good. Not so many, really, considering how many I've done. It's a very awkward situation because to do a recording well you focus on the positive of what will make the piece better.

Like most musicians, Im good at becoming immersed in the music that I am currently working on. We seldom lift up our heads to contemplate even the music we will be doing in the future, let alone what weve done in the past.

Like many musicians, I don't look back much... only concentrate on what music I'm doing, and occasionally look ahead.

We all have different musical instincts, and I think they're precious and should be respected.

From my time in 'King Crimson,' I'd describe a Progressive band as one that keeps trying to break musical barriers, and keeps trying to do new music.

I'm a player and I do it because I love playing whether it's for my album or someone else's.
