For me, anything can be music! I can get huge enjoyment and be moved totally by the purity and perfection of some Renaissance polyphony, but equally I can feel emotion in the expectant hum of a big old guitar amp just before the strings are hit.

I'm a guitarist by background. That's what I used to do for sessions when I was younger and that sort of thing. We have several pianos in the house and I tend to just sit and fiddle around.

I worry about technical details - did I mix the cello half a decibel too high? Things like that.

A lot of the music editing job is communication and working out what a director really wants the music to be.

For me, I work very self-contained. It's literally just me sitting in a room doing it until the very end of the process when other musicians come in and instruments are recorded.

I find that I love so much stuff and respect so many people who work in this industry and music in general. I've kind of learned that I've got to just stick to what I can do and try and do that really.
