 Currently I'm working with Parker Fly on a new Midi guitar to arrive next year. |
| I was left with an urge to make the guitar sound like things it shouldn't be able to sound like. |
| I love drums and still play frequently. |
| I thought I might be a band instructor, someone who plays all the instruments and teaches others. |
| My favorite puzzle is trying to work out the parts myself, after all it is a solo effort. |
| Age 10. I joined the school marching band as a drummer. |
| Yes, but don't forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely. |
| We expect to keep our writing sessions going until late spring, then to play some new material in a few secret club dates. The record will likely take a long time and may not surface until 1999! |
| I borrowed a guitar at age 16 and taught myself to play because I wanted to write songs. |
| King Crimson will soon be touring parts of Europe. |
| Digital for storage and quickness. Analog for fatness and warmth. |
| I have enjoyed all the artists I've worked with. |
| As you can appreciate over my lifetime I've developed a large vocabulary of sounds each requiring certain physical techniques often combined with a specific effect box. |
| For example, after developing a sound similar to an elephant trumpeting, I wrote the song Elephant Talk which gave my elephant sound an appropriate place to live. |
| The only drawback is once the work is done you rarely see each other. |
| I prefer a quartet, it makes everyone work harder. |
| King Crimson is never easy; it's challenging. That's why I like it. |
| I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year, the 20th anniversary of my first solo record. |
| I have no secrets; all of these things have been discussed at length in guitar magazines over the years but are far too elaborate to cover in one article. |
| DUST includes rarities, demos, unreleased songs and instrumentals, live recordings, and more. |
