Swavey, it puts more than one genre of music together. That's the approach I have with all music I do.

I want to write theater pieces, opera, or some kind of amalgamation where there is singing, music and theater.

At the end of the day, every decision I make about my music is about creating a collective.

I think my music has always been a mixture, depending on whom I'm working with - what band, what musicians, what producer.

We have such a mixture now, such a fusion of different genres.

The music becomes something that is its own entity.

Over the years, when you're in a band with a catalog like Aerosmith's, you accumulate a lot of instruments to duplicate those songs.

I always try to think of a vocabulary to match different musical situations.

Every now and then, a lot of bands doing the same kind of music will organically sprout up at once.
