I grew up with classical music, and to a lesser extent electronic music, and that's where I belong, so to speak.

My musical ambitions are not that great. I make music I like, and thankfully - for my ability to make an (fairly...) honest living - at least some others like the music too.

I like Iron Maiden and a few other bands, but by and large I don't like metal music. Most of it simply put reeks. This meant that it was no great loss for me to drop the metal music altogether.

Personally I don't understand why the metal press even bother, but I guess it is good they do.

We pick up the lost bits and pieces, from the grass where we left them, and bring them with us into a future that will be made up of so much more as well.

A man can only grow to a certain point when alone; to grow further you need some "irrational shocks", like a wife and children; a dramatic change to your own life.

Being a man with a conscience I simply felt that I had to do something - anything! - about the world we live in.
