It’s my dream to make music that can make people feel like they’re flying.
Sometimes it takes just living your life a certain way to be able to open yourself to the rhythm of the cosmos.
The main thing experience has taught me is that one has to sort of hone their relationship to time, you know.
Something like trying to protect yourself all the time, things like trying to outwit fate. Those things can be the worst thing you can do for yourself.
Expression is when you are at one with nothingness.
What I do on my solo stuff is just the most natural version of who I am, and I’m trying to represent the feelings that I’m feeling as purely as possible.
The point is, I’m weird, but I never felt weird.
Rock music is electronic music, dependent entirely on electronic circuitry and amplification.
Everything’s very perfectly balanced; for all the horrible things in the world there’s lots of good things.
I’ve been in pain hope it doesn’t show I’ve been insane well the time is slow.
Maybe what I do isn’t going to be acknowledged by people, but that’s me. It’s my nature to do things that are weirder and less understood and that was a path I needed to take.
It’s about the music, it’s not about just showing people what you can do with a piece of wood with strings on it.
You are free. Close your eyes. Open your mind. Let this music in, and you will see that this is true.
You should always think good things and always look for the good in the world. If you look for the bad in the world, you will always find something bad. But if you look for the good you will find it, it is there.
I find that the best way to do things is to constantly move forward and to never doubt anything and keep moving forward. If you make a mistake, say you made a mistake.
In music you have people exposing this very vulnerable part of themselves, and you also have the lifestyle is so fast that oftentimes people search for whatever the easiest way to feel relaxed in the midst of all of it, or the easiest way to have energy.
As long as you’re excited about what you’re playing, and as long as it comes from your heart, it’s going to be great.
I wanted all my solos to be something you could sing along with.
But for me if I’m gonna read about something I’d rather read a pamphlet or the instructions to a synthesizer than a book on Buddhism.
My religious point of view is something I can’t talk about. It goes against my belief system to talk publicly about my own spiritual beliefs.
