With me, satisfaction is always very fleeting with our work. I always get a little restless with it.

Image
I worry about my voice 24/7 when I'm on tour. It's like a pitcher and his arm. It's constantly the thing that my whole life revolves around.

It's a battle between record company, between producer and between mastering engineer. Because the louder you make your record in a digital process, the more dynamics are squished out of it. Nobody knows exactly what happens, but the dynamics in the performance disappear, and everything is at the same volume.

Music is all about wanting to be better at it.

If you have some magical chemistry that actually find the music you make compelling, that is a big bonus.

Image
I like to be able to come and go as I please, and I don't really like having my face and name plastered around. I think it's a bit weird to have your name plastered on every page in a magazine, where in each case you're using a different piece of equipment.

I like to practice on the bass, but I don't do it as often as I should.
