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

I know that John Adams has had a very hard time directing French ensembles.

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

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

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

What was once underground is now coming to the surface.

I currently spend a lot of time thinking about orchestration and every detail of a piece.
