I'm fascinated with the electronic devices that we can mess around with.

You start way down on a low B flat on the tuba and you have a chromatic scale; you can match the colours all the way up, till you get to the top of the trumpet.

A very talented player and all around excellent musician. I love hearing his records on radio!

Actually, it is a fact that I've been doing more writing than playing in recent years.

The Russian composers, especially, tricked the symphony orchestra into the kind of dynamic, rhythmic thing

If you've only got one horn playing, I still want the sense of ensemble.

People are approaching electronic levels in music; although not all of it happens to tickle my fancy
