I took it very seriously and got very far with it. I was pretty much on a high level when I arrived.
I actually met Chick Corea in New York, where I was staying with a bass player friend.
I am a Slavic musician and it is deeply inside of me.
I am touring in Europe. I am putting together a trio and a quartet. I am playing solo concerts with my symphonic sounds. I am very much engaged back to playing and recording and everything.
For KRS-One, I have a specific sound - sparse drums and bass. I try to steer away from elaborate productions.

I wouldn't want to hear Beethoven without beautiful bass, the cellos, the tuba. It's very important. Hip-hop has thunderous bass. And so does Beethoven. If you don't have the bass, it's like being amputated. It's like you have no legs.
Vocally, I don't think analogue makes that much difference, but with guitars, it definitely makes some difference. With drums and bass, absolutely.
The range of the cello is so big, it can play as low as the double bass and as high as the violin. It has the perfect shape, and its sound is the closest to the human voice.
