I guess haiku is an inspiration for me. Everyday, simple moments.

There is a sense of motion and a concise, immediate image in haikus and Anishinaabe dream songs.

Now as a musician, if you have it within you, you can create your own reality. Believe me, it's a novelty.

I've always made music that was representative of real life.

My music is my way to rearrange the world according to my own hopes.

I've spoken often of how the fantasy genre is able to, with the greatest freedom among all the genres, take a metaphor and make it real. But of course that's only the starting point.

Real music to me is real; it's what you feel.

I try to make songs visual and tactile to kind of put you into the action.

I can't just make a song people can dance in a club to... it still has to be real.

I have created a new genre. It is a soulful creation that comes straight from my heart.
