american-musician everybody gonna
You just never know when somebody's gonna die. It could happen at any moment so you've got to really treat everybody that way. Just really let everybody know how you feel about them.
thinking play feelings
I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.
real thankfulness energy
I would say a lot of the emotion in what I do is a sort of a thankfulness for those energies being around, because there's been points in my life when they weren't around, and it's a real sort of miserable existence.
body your-body knows
You don't throw your life away Going Inside You get to know who's watching you And besides you resides in your body
music trying spirit
I try to put the same spirit into that that I put into any other music endeavor I'm involved in.
moving causes sometimes
The curtains were made for moving Cause you know sometimes you're not always there
writing thinking people
I think any music of any worth has been done by people who were very interested in the internal process of their soul and their mind that's taking place while they're writing music.
life horny trying
And for me the only way to live life is to grab the bull by the horns and call up recording studios and set dates to go in recording studios. To try and accomplish something.
synthesizers changed approach
My music, my whole approach to the synthesizer has completely changed now.
musical style way
I combine aspects of many styles of music and create my own musical forms by way of electronic instruments.
fun home albums
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.
thinking rocks guitar
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.
vocabulary helping ive-learned
I don't have an extensive background in theory, but the amount of it that I've learned, I've applied, so I have a vocabulary of melodic and rhythmic relationships. And that's all theory is - it's symbols to help you identify those relationships.
ideas use records
So I use a tape recorder a lot to record ideas.
