Have you ever been influenced by Indian music, maybe fusion jazz of the sort that Mahavishnu Orchestra played?
We doubt it. First of all, we don't have much knowledge about Indian music; we discovered classical Indian music only a few years ago. We feel like it's a whole world to explore - rich, complex and deep music. We would need decades to study it hard enough to blend it with my music. This is all about respect, and fascination for the musicians playing Indian music. But musicians as important as The Beatles or John Coltrane have been a lot into this music, and we have heard them a lot. So we are sure Indian music has influenced us in an indirect way.
