Hi Marty, i really love the japanese-oriented or just the "hummmm"- oriented music that apears in your Cacophony and solo records(Scenes, Introduction,True obbsesions..), it is certainly the aspect of your whole music that i like the most(including of course your soloing style)....
I have always wondered how do you inspire to make such music, to create such atmospheres...and when soloing, whats going on in your mind???......are you thinking hard all the time about the chord changes??

I think about the changes only when I`m writing. When soloing I`m basically just `going for it` and hoping that the music draws me into playing the cool notes.
