To me music is the centre of the universe and the voice of the spirits and the voice of God and the voice of all the people who have lived and died...At least the ones I'm connected to.

We’re really lucky to live in a planet that has so much music. We could be living in some bland planet that had no music, no movies, no books, just a bunch of people going around having jobs and things like that. To me that would be a really miserable place, you know, to me music is what makes this world a really fun place to be, you know?

You don't throw your life away Going Inside You get to know who's watching you And besides you resides in your body

I combine aspects of many styles of music and create my own musical forms by way of electronic instruments.

I'm dreading the time that is not near As a man on a cross I have no fear I can't believe these words I'm saying You've got to feel your lines

You know this moment in time Is all my life Every day is each day that's passed Every person alive is everyone's who's died

A slave in the fields one night He's running along Gets far enough to be a free man And he's feeling so strong

Rock guitarists usually do not wish to think trains of thought about anything but their own guitar playing during a long solo, and I could not play this way if I were not able to divide my attention between my ever changing musical environment and my instrument itself.
John Frusciante
Image
But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.
John Frusciante
Image
Pot put me in a position where I could walk far away from my playing and hear it in the second person. It helped me step away from myself. I stopped seeing the guitar as a thing I'm holding in my hands and started seeing it as a thing that's at one with outer space and nothingness.

I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach.

Image
Lose yourself in the far off worlds that are right under your feet. Switch below with above all the way up into infinity. We should be thankful who we are, whether we know ourselves or not.
John Frusciante
Image
I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.
John Frusciante
Image
So when I feel the spirit upon me it's something I don't take it for granted, and I don't think I'm solely responsible for these things.
