giving mind form
When the music arrives in my mind, it gives me the direction and the form at the same time. It's integrated into the music itself.
growing-up growing paper
I never read comics growing up. I didn't have money and I don't like to touch paper.
guitar play looks
Absolutely, all guitars are different. You can go into a store and grab five guitars, all the same model, and even though they look identical they're not identical. They play differently, they feel a bit different and they sound slightly different.
order play challenges
In a certain sense, these were lessons I learned by playing with Indian musicians. The rhythmic forms that they use are very complex, and very challenging. In order to play in fifteen, or eleven, or seven or even five, you have to have mastered that time in order to be able to be free with the music.
locks band tunes
Everyone can lock into the rhythm on a tune. It's organic in nature. It connects the band as a whole and connects the band to the audience.
records way sound
In a way records are like paintings. Instead of using paints and brushes we use sounds and instruments.
attitude thinking order
I think I'm built like a painter. I have friends who are painters and they reflect a similar psychological attitude towards their work. They don't know what's coming next, they just wait for the message, for orders to come and then off they go on their next project.
guy feelings different
I'm not any different from you or the guy down the street or across the globe, we're all connected in some way and hopefully my music can integrate that feeling of human connectedness.
order waiting use
The music dictates to me which instrument I use. I'm basically waiting for orders as it were.
fell love
We fell in love with the country, and we never went back.
build national track
We're pretty happy. We're on track to build our national fundraising base.
account cannot north
we still cannot account for all of North Korea's plutonium.
