There was a time when fast playing and fretboard pyrotechnics on the bass were important to me and when I am recording a bass track, that is still very important to me. ”

It's a battle between record company, between producer and between mastering engineer. Because the louder you make your record in a digital process, the more dynamics are squished out of it. Nobody knows exactly what happens, but the dynamics in the performance disappear, and everything is at the same volume. ”

That is what intrigues me; songwriting and song structure and expression. ”

I think you just have to cross your fingers that there's enough artists out there that keep producing interesting work, and eventually it will form a kind of wave that will force people to pay attention to it. ”

With me, satisfaction is always very fleeting with our work. I always get a little restless with it. ”

I have such an extreme attitude about work, where I can just completely be derelict of my responsibilities and then when I am not derelict, I am completely indulged in it. I swing pretty wildly from the two extremes. ”

I have a lot of hobbies and I can be very remiss in reminding myself to go down to the basement to work. ”

When I usually go to my studio to work, I start with something that is going to take two minutes just to put some idea down and the next thing I know, ten hours have gone by and my family is screaming at me because they want me to come up to have dinner with them. ”

With the help of modern technology, I can compose intricate keyboard parts and then I have to go back and learn them in order to perform them properly. ”

My studio is designed for atmosphere. I have a really cozy, comfortable room that has a great, huge glass door that views my backyard. ”
