I wrote a lot of software to do various kinds of special things, and I loved the idea of composing pieces in an electronic studio.

I think of myself as an experimentalist even though much of my music sounds logical and normal, in a sense.

The experimentation that I do has a lot to do with tunes and pitches and ways that melodies are put together.
