I don't like to go trampling on other people's sounds. That's really about it - I don't gravitate towards it, I try to move away from it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Just trying to be different - when I hear something - I don't like to go trampling on other people's sounds.
I don't try to sound like anyone but me anymore. If something is out of my element, I try to avoid it.
If I'm playing a violin thing, for instance, I tend to respond to that sound with the way I finger.
In so many ways, it feels the same now when I play as the very first time I picked up the instrument. There's always this sound out there that's just a little bit beyond my reach and I'm trying to get there and that just sort of keeps me going.
Maybe in music you're making an auditory environment and maybe you change your environment around you to suit your own way.
When I feel comfortable, I just like to sing and hum, and I don't even know I'm doing it. But sometimes someone will come over to me like, 'I love that song you were singing, but it's distracting.'
But when you have to deal with notes, and to be able to make a full definition of what a sound is - if you are not around that environment, then you'll find you lose that feel, that momentum, you lose all that.
Musically, I always allow myself to jump off of cliffs. At least that's what it feels like to me. Whether that's what it actually sounds like might depend on what the listener brings to the songs.
I get uncomfortable in large groups of people and loud music.
When something really hits me, it makes me want to either jump off something really high or lie down and be buried. I want people to get hit and caught by my music.
