I think that the creative process, especially in the beginning of making an album, I'm feeling very fragile, so to speak, because you are trying out so many different ideas, and if you are listening to it from the outside, it would sound horrible!

Because I'm in a modern studio, there are so many possibilities - you can do so much. So it's sometimes a little bit confusing for me to actually see which way should I choose.

If the melodies are strong, it's much easier to see which way I can take them sound-wise.

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

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.
