I must admit I'm a total control freak. That is the way that it works best for me.

Banging techno grooves from the one and only Ben Sims. Around the time of this was written he had that tribal/funky techno sound that rocked the dancefloor. He was a favorite then and still is now.

I like to surprise the listener a little bit and also surprise myself when I write the music.

I really love the fact that instrumental music can have you do your own inner-movies or your own visuals to the sound. There's not lyrics dictating what you should feel.

Sometimes, I actually end up doing three or four different versions of one song, and sometimes, those versions can be done very differently. They can be very laid back, downtempo, or sometimes the same song can be quite uptempo. But it is always the same melody and chord progressions.

Even if I have a quite strong melody, there are so many possibilities and so many directions that you can take the music.

There are some ideas that I know I have to try out before I find the right sound, before I find the right melody.
