What is music to you? What does it give you?

Life. A good reason to stay in this world while I have the chance to be here.

What is your music dream?

Sadly I can't remember much of my dreams. I guess making a modest living out of my productions would be fine.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

I'm taking the Fifth on that.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

"Careful With That Axe, Eugene" by Pink Floyd. I would mention the whole "Ummagumma" album, though.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Jimi Hendrix, the Jefferson Airplane, Sly & the Family Stone, Robert Wyatt, Robert Johnson, Pharoah Sanders, Miles Davis, Alice Coltrane... Just to mention a few.

What inspires you to make music?

Things happening on this planet, I think.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

I guess it would sound something like: "Pay attention to what's going on in this world. Meditate and think about what you really are, before any speaking or acting. Then do the right thing, as far as you can tell."

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

Very fine. I feel I AM myself then.

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

I guess there are too many people nowadays who are convinced they are musicians. I might be one of them. There's too much music produced. I guess quality could be greatly improved... People shouldn't record and release a million tracks every day just because they own gears and software enough to produce them, or they are willing to sell them. Music should have a proper meaning and a high value.

What do you think of Drooble?

Just signed up... It looks nice, hope I'll be happy with it soon.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Not having time enough for producing my music.

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

Not at all. "My" local scene just sucks. And I really wouldn't have the time for that, anyway.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

A successful musician nowadays should mainly be a good sales agent: good looking, self-absorbed, an opportunistic lap dog when needed, up for anything, very active and talkative on the internet and in real life... Or we can try to be ourselves and hope for a miracle... Sometimes we don't even need that miracle. Our own soul is our best audience.

Share some awesome artists that we’ve never heard of.

I should mention so many friends... And it would be unfair if I didn't mention them all! Check out the people I'm following on SoundCloud.
