I love working with an orchestra, but there are many ways to make music.

I had a big background in listening to classical music and I started trying to compose, like I was playing the guitar but I heard an orchestra in my head.

Playing in an orchestra is where I learned the most about music.

I really like melodies.

I just wanted to make melodies. I started trying to do my own thing and let the melodies make the genre themselves.

I like to hear melodies that go from one extreme to the next- saxophone to a bell to a whistle, for instance.

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.

Ever since I was a child I've always been very attracted to melodies. Whether I hear Jeff Beck, a choir, an ocean or the wind, there's always a melody in there.

I've learned a lot from the masters of orchestration, like Ravel and Stravinsky.
