My music is very personal. I've created it in solitude. I face a white wall and beller. I like that sound - the expression of loneliness. That's what it's all about.
Growing up, I had one very specific idea of what a wedding should be, and that was the wedding of Fraulein Maria and Captain von Trapp in 'The Sound of Music.'
I like to create the music I hear in my interior. As a conductor, you have the ability to squeeze the sounds and interpretation you asked for from 50 to 80 people.
I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach.
I try to listen to a lot of music when I'm in the mixing process of a record, when I'm in post-production and trying to get everything to sound a certain way.

It goes back to a style of moviemaking I remember seeing as a child, in movies like The Man With The Golden Arm, which I think was shot all on a sound stage.
The same sensations that you get in heavy metal are in horror movies. Heavy metal sounds evil and horror movies are evil, ha ha!
Jack Horner: If it looks like shit, and it sounds like shit, than it must be shit.
This sounds crazy, but my goal is to be nominated for an Oscar. I was the kid who was practicing my acceptance speech when I was ten.
I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I've gotten older, I think. I noticed that.
Baseball is my escape. The sights, the sounds, the way the park smells. There is truly no place I would rather be than at a game.
we are too busy listening to our thoughts that we don't hear the wonderful sounds surrounding us...
sometimes music isn't just a bunch of sounds and lyrics, sometimes it's more than that: a time machine...
I could write songs about politics, but I'm conscious of not writing songs that sound the same as the ones I wrote 30 years ago.
