''One can tell from your music that you don't want to be squeezed into any scheme. You would certainly not agree to be addressed as a rock or jazz musician. But what I would still like to know is your opinion about the musical changes of the next years. Which style will dominate?''

Probably none in particular. The best thing, of course, would be to leave out all of that terminology. People will probably listen to both jazz and rock music in the next few years. You can already hardly separate - what is pop or rock? If you were to force me to give a definition, you could perhaps put it like this: 40% rock, 30% jazz and a lot of music from other cultures that are far from being fully ~~exploited~~, and of course technology will take up more space as well. But especially the music from other cultures will increase, less towards India, but for example Turkey etc. Roman plays a Saz (stringed instrument) as well as a solo guitar at our gigs and especially electrically. You will get a lot of new possibilities through new sounds. But in the end it's all up to the individual musician, how versatile he is and how open he is to such things.
