Music is my life. The things that people do don't seem interesting to me at all - going out to bars, carrying on, going to parties. What the hell do people do? Shop? Play golf? Have vacations?

You just never know when somebodys gonna die. It could happen at any moment so youve got to really treat everybody that way. Just really let everybody know how you feel about them.

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

I try to put the same spirit into that that I put into any other music endeavor I'm involved in.
John Frusciante

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.

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.

For me it's important to be in balance. To not let fear get in the way of things, to not worry so much about protecting yourself all the time.
