Well actually the technique is a tool. That's what my teacher once told
me. So I'm not only trying to play fast, but just to use it in certain
ways, that it's not getting boring or something right. When you listen to a
guitarist like Yngwie Malmsteen, so was really quick but he's not doing
anything else apart from playing chord. It's getting boring. That's not what I'm trying.
Well yes and no - it's I'm not doing a lot of speed picking through the
whole song. It's most like in the last part of a solo or a specific melody or
something. But like the themes and the choruses is that they are very actually
simple melodies or phrases. So the technique I always like when someone is
actually you can hear that someone actually can play his instrument. So it's
not only basic chords but it's nice to hear and like all the very technical
guitarists. They have their own ways of like I love the sweeping technique and
that's what I use a lot sweeping in combination with tapping and bendings
and stuff like that. So you can actually hear - oh yeah that's him.
Oh that's not - that is mostly like a more emotional kind of playing. So like
in a song like To The Manta Rays. It's a song actually that's why it's called
like that. I wrote it for a video with only manta rays. So I filmed it in
Indonesia. I made a compilation and I came up with seven minutes of a video.
So I had to make a song and keep it for interesting for seven minutes. So I think
there are not even shredding licks or technical. It's just like very slow
playing. I'm much influenced by David Gilmour. For instance for that - well he
isn't really not a too this very technical playing. So it's not necessary.
So I think Silent Warrior is also very slow song, except the last part of the
electric solo here's some - but only the very last part the rest is just basic
simple melodies and that's what I like most actually. I'm very much influenced
by my guitar is called Tony MacAlpine. He's very good in that just simple
melodies. He has a very technical playing as well a technical player, but he is not
only using the technique but it's very musical. So and the last Fantasy Princess
is just a big epic song.
It's like a guitar battle. I have one sound for the whole album and the second
guitar I created a new sound for it and I also had a different kind of playing
with it. So the other one is really disrupting and the other one is more
like a bluesy and not really the shred guitar with different sounds was like a
guitar battle between myself. That's why I like in that song.
Yeah sometimes I do, what I think every musician has. But I hadn't - I didn't have
a deadline for the album. That was very important. I worked for it for four three
three years I think. But sometimes four months I didn't work
on it and I think there was one song I think it was Chapters when I had the
start and that rhythm part then I came up with the chorus and once I finished
it in a listen back I was just not happy with it. And then I tried to change it a
bit and at some point I think let's keep the song for a while and continue with
the later. Then I removed the whole chorus and and came up with something
new and yeah so - of course - yeah you struggle some time. But it's not only
sometimes I have - like a - like a verse and then I can't come up with any course
that fits well with the verse or something. Sometimes I'm just not in a
mood for playing at all or composing and yeah that happens. But I always sometimes
I just wait sometimes for weeks sometimes months and then I continue
again and yeah so I think everyone is struggling sometime. I think that's normal.
Just keep doing it. Yeah I had it actually with a documentary when I
worked on. That every time once and while I get the whole season to compose music
for four seasons so it was like 15 minutes of music and I had a deadline
actually. So sometimes when I struggle I just wait for a day continue the next
day and sometimes you have to do when you work for hours on one part and you
just struggle throw it away start over and eventually
at some time but what works for me is. When I struggle I just go for a ride on
the bike whatever and then music comes in my head again and then I go back and
then I continue again. Sometimes you need to break and find the inspiration anyway. Yeah
I did most of the part myself. I mean Stefan played one bass in a song and
my father played an intro of one song but for rest it's all mine. Because I had
really in mind what I wanted the album to sound like. So I didn't -
everyone has a different opinion and of course I did my media music study. So I
know how I have to produce. So now it's mostly my own project. But I
didn't have any goals with the album and no deadlines so I was like a project
that I wanted to finish. Because I wanted to sound it like I wanted it to
sound. So I didn't really - I need - I didn't need help.
Well I think a couple of years but the main reason I also start this project is this technical way of playing
is actually my roots. That's how I started. And during my studies are you
learning to play blues and funk. Well I started as a gypsy project. So many many
ways but I didn't really play this technical. I don't do it live because
there is no market really for it and so I decided just when I when I make an
album then I have to study it and to keep the technique and but it was a goal
like my roots I always wanted to make like make an album like that. And at some
point I said now I'm gonna start with it. And this year actually in a May holiday
as now I want to finish it so I kept - we had two weeks off. So I two weeks just
spending all only on my album and that was my goal for now after those two
weeks it should be all finished.
Well first of all don't try not to make too many deadlines because that really
helps. Because when you struggle or whatever then just take your time and
finish it later and just do your own thing. That's very - that's what I
did. I mean the music that I create is not really for a big - it's not really
commercial music. But that's doesn't - that was not my goal. I try to combine like
a structure in the song with verses chorus and catchy melodies and choruses
combined with like this speed picking and and heavy technical solo. So just do
your own thing and don't really pay attention to what other thinks because
everyone has their opinion about above music but every everyone's opinion is
different. So ask of course musicians what they think about your music not -
not only the people who just listen to music but have no idea how music works.
And also - yeah that's what I would recommend - just do your own thing.
