Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do seem to like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass.
Not everybody likes or understands a drum solo, so I like to bring in effects and sounds to keep their interest.
Creating sounds together with other musicians is something I've always liked doing.
I try to make my music have the quiet spaces of folk, the intimacy, and the energy of rock.
Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me.
With a guitar I would be able to express the things I felt in sounds.
I just love crafting and shaping sounds. Actually, many of the sounds that I work with start off as organic instruments - guitar, piano, clarinet, etc. But I do love the rigidity of electronic drums.
It's really important for the bass and the drums to somehow blend.
I know I love sexy surf guitars, I know I love loud snare. I love really simple repeating bass lines, and I love weird mad scientist keyboard sounds.
I wanted to connect my guitar to human emotions.
