I write music that sounds complex but isn't. I frankly never think in terms of theory.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
However, very recently I have come to an understanding that complex music is not necessarily pleasant.
Playing music is not really susceptible to theory much. Circumstances affect it so much.
I come from a background of experimental music which mingled real sounds together with musical sounds.
Music is extremely intuitive, which acting too in a different way.
I think that the process of making music is a hard one to describe as well.
I think my knowledge of music theory is rooted in jazz theory, and a lot of the writers of standards - Rodgers and Hart, and Gershwin.
I really believe in the power of music - and I mean literally the power of musical tones - to rearrange the way you can think.
I like the fact that music is more abstract.
I can make any type of music, so I wouldn't want to describe myself as having one type of sound. I think music is about keeping it diverse.
Music is powered by ideas. If you don't have clarity of ideas, you're just communicating sheer sound.
