My studio is right on the ocean, and the sun rises right in my eyes every morning, and the energy of the sea is right there.

My big problem is that I don't promote my electronic music very much because it makes my 'normal' fans angry!

My first album was called Seven Waves, and was directly inspired by the ocean, and the ocean has been a leitmotif in my music. Nature was my inspiration even in NYC, because I needed that balance - I would travel out to nature. I loved the big city, I loved the energy, but I needed the balance.

There's something to be said about all music being some translation of our languaging, our way of communicating. It's a language. This is a new language.

When I have a lot of work to do my life is very distracted, so for me to concentrate on music I need to create a structure where I can focus better.
