I write music that sounds complex but isn't. I frankly never think in terms of theory.

I never listen to music when I write.

I can't write music unless I'm deeply connected to it and that connection almost always comes from some experience that I have had or am having.

I write my music.

I write, but I also act.

As a composer, I know that all sorts of sounds I hear are making their way into my brain and soul and later sneak into my music.
