Tension, especially with regard to horror, is a very difficult thing to sustain in the big sense.

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

Sometimes I find bringing in my old ideas is just detrimental.

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.

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 have been very fortunate in that I'm not doing all network shows or all cable shows, television has really become a year-round process in the way that it's made.

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.
