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.

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

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!

It's very easy to overproduce stuff and you can forget those first spontaneous ideas are often the best ideas.

For every album, I really try to make an album that you hopefully will listen to from the first track to the last track. I personally really like if there's a - maybe not a story, but there's a natural flow.

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

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