It means basically I'm using the synthesizer more to change the sounds of other things rather than to use it as the source of the sound.
John Frusciante
Image
Right now my taste is going more for things that are organic where the people are using all the sonic possibilities in interesting ways.
John Frusciante
Image
I still love with all my heart anything that I have ever loved in my life.
John Frusciante
Image
When the intellectual part of guitar playing overrides the spiritual, you don't get to extreme heights.
John Frusciante
Image
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.
John Frusciante
Image
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? That doesn't seem interesting to me. To me, my job as a musician is to be a good receptor. A lot of music comes through me.
John Frusciante
Image
Because I'm pure inside, the music that comes out of me is a life-giving thing. Like water.
John Frusciante
Image
I think an analogue synth is an extension of the natural world.
John Frusciante
Image
And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I'm doing a clearer representation of the thing that I've been feeling inside me since I was four years old.
John Frusciante
Image
Dream that you died It takes you out of your mind The black walls of space Take me all the way
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.
John Frusciante
Image
Music has always carried me through times of loneliness. So when I make music, I like it to make people who listen to it feel like they have a friend who reveals something personal to them, rather than trying to be like a god up on a pedestal
John Frusciante
Image
Mainly, I don't like it when music is made solely to impress people or in order to please business people it doesn't sound good to me. If you're making music in order to become famous or loved by the masses that's not what I'm about. When somebody's making music for the wrong reasons, I hear it right away.

Pagers are my life--I try to get them in to our music as much as possible.
John Frusciante
Image
What really helps me is being able to record my albums at home - I have more fun experimenting that way, as opposed to working with an engineer, in which case I have to deal with the humiliation of doing take after take, and that can get frustrating.

Image
I write lyrics. I play the guitar. If the rest of the band had to do my schedule, they would be dead
John Frusciante
Image
I don’t pay attention to the world. I just have the art I like and the music I like and for me that’s the whole world
John Frusciante
Image
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
John Frusciante
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
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
