Everything that has a spare piano is 'like Satie' and everything with strings is 'filmic,' Sometimes I get annoyed when they say my stuff sounds 'like Satie'. No, it doesn't. At least, I don't think so.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Piano is like drudgery.
When you sit down and see someone play at a piano, you don't think, 'Wow - what a fantastic machine.'
I'm sorry to say that no, I do not play the piano.
It's always difficult to know if a song needs more than piano, and I worry about my tendency to go in a sparse direction.
I am in musical theatre, but it isn't necessarily what I listen to in my leisure time, do you know what I mean?
And I definitely have an affinity with the piano.
The piano is the X factor. People have a tough time following the structures when there's no piano there, spelling it out. It makes it more easily understood, particularly to people who don't know as much about music.
Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody's piano playing in my living room has on the book I am reading.
People say to me now, 'Oh, you've given up the piano.' How can you? Music is a virus.
For the most part, pianos are female to me. Sometimes they're dykes, and they're always good fun.
