"There are always some doubts when you do a new album though. You wonder whether you succeeded or not, especially when you waited as long as I did for this one - seven years. You're never really sure if it will be a nice record or not."

Will

"I am a classical music lover - not necessarily the contemporary stuff, but the old stuff."

Music

"The problem is that I don't want to add another record to the world that is not necessary to be published, except to make some business. There has to be a musical reason."

Attention

"I was afraid the other musicians might want to present themselves too much, though I see in the coverage I've received of the album that the musicians got wonderful reviews for their contributions and abilities. I think the four musicians played freely within my limits."

Limit

"As a result, I had to get my own playground which was my band Colours. This band lasted for about eight years and then the air was out of it and it was time to finish."

Time

"I played cello in my high school orchestra."

School
