Any guitar solo should reflect the music that it's soloing over and not just be existing in its own sort of little world.
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.
My music, my whole approach to the synthesizer has completely changed now.
I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach.
People fall into patterns at fast speeds, when really, to have a clear musical thought - the kind of musical thought that makes a melody work - our brains just can't think that fast. At a certain point, you're going on automatic.
As far as my solo record, I don't want a gold record or anything, I'm happy to be small and to have the people appreciate the music who really like me for being me.
