There's another way of making music, by touching the lives and feelings of ordinary people.

The academic area of new music or modern music festivals is not something which attracts me at all.

Music history has flowed under the bridges for many years.

One thing I'm doing on the new Titanic recording is actually bringing in different acoustic spaces.

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

Craft is part of the creative process.

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