You hear the same work by different orchestras, different conductors, violinists, pianists, singers, and slowly, the work reveals itself and begins to live deeper in you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Whenever I get an idea for a song, even before jotting down the notes, I can hear it in the orchestra, I can smell it in the scenery, I can see the kind of actor who will sing it, and I am aware of an audience listening to it.
Playing in an orchestra is where I learned the most about music.
I love working with an orchestra, but there are many ways to make music.
I currently spend a lot of time thinking about orchestration and every detail of a piece.
It's just that, when the orchestra look at me, I want them to see a completely involved person who reflects what we rehearsed, and whose function is to make it possible for them to do it.
When I first wrote for orchestra, I didn't realize, when you have 20 people playing a violin line, that is very different than one person playing that line.
But if I can be convinced and then through the work that we do together, the orchestra can really be convinced of the big sweep of that communication that the piece suggests, then the audience will get it and it will be a good experience for all of us.
You have to change your mind with every orchestra because every orchestra has a different character.
Musicians are always eclectic. Musicians are always curious and hungry for new things.
