"I tried to extract the most as is possible. It wasn’t a synthesizer, it was an instrument more simple, a normal organ. I modified it a bit."

What things may to do with a synthesizer?

"It was a fantastic discovery. You can do... almost they aren’t limits."

How many synthesizers do you have, mellotrons?

"Now, more and more time, I think that are synthesizer much more perfectioned, and don’t mind have a lot for get the sound that you want. You can do it all with two a three synthesizers, you can do all the combinations as you want, and you get the same result from six or seven years, with ten o twenty."

We talk about synthesizers, but is not necessary the musicians?

"Always somebody’s needed. The man is the most important instrument."

"When we do an album together, he sings and write the lyrics. I make all music, instrumentation production. When he make an album, I played some time."

Do you prefer to work with a voice or only with keyboards?

"It depends."

For the songs’ conception, I refer
