The late sixties and early seventies were kind of a breeding ground for exciting new sounds because easy listening and folk were kind of taking over the airwaves. I think it was a natural next step to take that blissful, easy-going sound and strangle the life out of it.

I honed in on a great time, the Motown era, the '60s and '70s. That type of music has always been a staple in my life.

I am really into '70s music, like The Rolling Stones, The Doors and what not.

All the music that I play today, I actually heard either at home or in my neighborhood when I was growing up in the '40s and '50s.

I started buying records in the '80s. I listened to everything new wave, disco, funk synth-pop, rock, but in my house we were listening to bossa nova, tango, and folk.

I think the '70s was a much healthier period for music because people were more innovative and creative.

My real interest in music was the old 78 records and the sound of the music. I loved it and began to realize that one of the main sounds on those old records I loved was the guitar.

As a really young child, I was listening to the echoes of the age before, music hall and stuff like that, as well as classical bits on the radio.

I think early on in my career, I was heavily inspired by bands like Throbbing Gristle and Test Dept, and films of David Lynch, for example, where the soundscape plays a very important role in the listening experience.

I was always fascinated with rock 'n' roll, or girls, or something like that when I was a kid.
