I often think of random melodies. And I pretty much hear in my head what I want to do with the orchestra as I'm writing on the piano.

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.

I went to study some orchestration stuff because I got so inspired working with all the orchestras.

I listen to lots of music, especially Bach, opera (all periods), German lieder, chamber music, and rock, old and new. I can't listen to music while I write. It's too absorbing.

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.

I have music in my brain all the time, all sorts.

I listen mostly to classical music.

Lately I've been listening to some classical music again, some jazz.
