What was once underground is now coming to the surface.

Writing tonal music now, you are not writing into the 19th Century.

I have friends who have a CD mastering plant in Hollywood and they are very sceptical about European record labels' understanding of digital technology.

Over the years I have tried to develop something which is technically assured.

I work very fast, keeping the ideas flowing but making sure they come out the way I intended.

It makes sense to invest in new work. It's almost like having a research department in a scientific laboratory. You have to try things out. You'll make some bad mistakes. Some things will fail but at least you'll energise the organisation.

I am writing something which I find satisfying and which I am prepared to put my name to as a composer.
