Of course the playing is important but writing and the establishing of what you are going for is prime too.
Start with the titles, and then build the music that goes with them.
If I'm playing a violin thing, for instance, I tend to respond to that sound with the way I finger.
I don't have a great nostalgia for the past.
I would like to play with electronic keyboards again.
Actually, I think my hands are in the best shape they've ever been in terms of what I can do.
