I'm not a good enough musician to like completely master something in a couple of days and turn it around.

While the accompanimental [sic] figures come from Prelude, the melody is wholly original to this theme. First stated on a lonely duduk, and then in octaves by the violins and violas, it is a melancholy and contemplative tune.

With television you are producing hours and hours of music and for film it is a shorter experience for both the audience and for you as a composer.

I think the thing that music can do is be unsettling. It is abnormal - music that's perceived to be different in an unresolved or unusual way.

I've always approached television from a little more cinematic perspective, if not a much more cinematic perspective because of the shows I have been fortunate enough to work on.

What I love more than anything is Jerry Goldsmith's 80's music and Bernard Herrmann's genre music from the 50's and 60's.
