When I Lived In New York, There Wasn't As Much Tv Or Film Around. I Got Asked To Do A Couple Of Indie Films, Just Based On Me Being From The Smashing Pumpkins And A Perfect Circle. I Did A Couple Of Indie Movies From Japan And One From Canada, And I Thought It Was An Exciting, Fun Thing To Do. I Had A Great Time Doing It, It Was Just That, In New York, There Really Wasn't As Much. My Studio In New York Closed, So I Moved Out To L.a. And Just Started Looking Into Composing As Another Thing To Do, As A Musician. I Like It A Lot. It's Fun And It's A Different Way Of Thinking About Music.
