In scoring, I usually start with a sound or group of sounds, searching out what feels right.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing I try to do the most is to play in terms of the song and play in terms of what I'm hearing.
Sometimes I write them down in musical notation as a trigger to remind me about certain directions to go. Or I can be specific about a sound I'm looking for.
I like to play with words and the sounds of words - that's extremely important to me.
When you play, it's like you know that there are people out there who are hearing it for the first time, and I think that's really important.
It starts with a single sound. If there's something in that sound, then it's worth continuing.
For me it's always contingent on getting a sound-the sound always suggests what kind of melody it should be. So it's always sound first and then the line afterwards.
We tune down a full step when we play but I never miss a note. I've learned how to keep my voice.
I sort of look at music as helping me get through situations.
I take sounds and change them into words.
Sound strategy starts with having the right goal.
