 I guess, we were people who just dedicated to trying to get better. |
| First of all, when you live in a country like Canada, it's quite different from America in the sense that it's very tied to traditions that were born in Britain. |
| Music is all about wanting to be better at it. |
| That is what intrigues me; songwriting and song structure and expression. |
| So, I don't know what is going to happen when the CD comes out, how well it will sell, etc. But, from a personal point of view, it was a very worthwhile endeavor. |
| I do love using keyboards and I love writing keyboard parts, but I am not a player in the true sense of the word. |
| My studio is designed for atmosphere. I have a really cozy, comfortable room that has a great, huge glass door that views my backyard. |
| When I usually go to my studio to work, I start with something that is going to take two minutes just to put some idea down and the next thing I know, ten hours have gone by and my family is screaming at me because they want me to come up to have dinner with them. |
| I was taking piano lessons with a very good piano instructor in Toronto, and I'm afraid due to my schedule and discipline, it kind of fell apart. One thing lead to another and I was unable to practice as much as I wanted to. |
| If you have some magical chemistry that actually find the music you make compelling, that is a big bonus. |
| Sometimes it's nice to have a song that can be taken more then one way, so it can be interpreted differently. |
| I have such an extreme attitude about work, where I can just completely be derelict of my responsibilities and then when I am not derelict, I am completely indulged in it. I swing pretty wildly from the two extremes. |
| I liked the fact that I was forced to get inside of my emotions and to really try to figure out a lot of what I was going through. |
| I feel safe and comfortable to do that once I know that the song structure around the bass part is very interesting and it satisfies me in a compositional sense. |
| I have a lot of hobbies and I can be very remiss in reminding myself to go down to the basement to work. |
| I am moved more by melodies, song structure, and evocative textures. |
