John Barry was the first film composer I was aware of. As a teenager I owned several of his Bond soundtracks.
I dont find myself lobbying for projects. Filmmakers almost always come to me.
I don't personally see my work as being dark. What interests me is a balance between light and dark.
I have always loved Scottish music - all sorts of Celtic, Gaelic music.
How does my music connect to an audience? That is just a complete mystery to me.
I think I've only done one horror movie, Psycho III. That was a walk in the park compared to a romantic comedy.
