I really feel instrumental music can speak - can contain tremendous amounts of information - but it's speaking to your subconscious.

It's crucial that people are on the right measure at the right time.

I want the music to be ambiguous. Its tone gives you a context in which to start visualizing what you're feeling with the music.

It scares me that people are going to stop writing music. I don't mean music that has to be physically written down, but they'll stop using their brain which is without a doubt the most powerful tool that you could have in any art.

It can and will be a more powerful sound but the orchestra has far more potential for expressive power. When I hear a great rock band it can make me feel alive, but when I hear a great orchestra it can make me feel human.

I started out in theatre and I definitely have wanted to add extra musical elements to my music with both imagery and text.

I'm constantly revising and updating a piece until it's finally recorded. Once it's recorded, then it's over.
