I was never that into the movies. Never. Even as a youngster. I became interested in movie music only because of the studio orchestras in Hollywood.

Yeah, I've played a lot of instruments, and I played in a lot of bands growing up, and I've even had to play music in a lot of films that I've done.

It would have been more obvious to go into film, based on the generation before me, but the generation before them were all composers or classical musicians.

I think early on in my career, I was heavily inspired by bands like Throbbing Gristle and Test Dept, and films of David Lynch, for example, where the soundscape plays a very important role in the listening experience.

I was always into music, but I wanted to do film when I was kid. I remember seeing big movies and wanting to do them. Then I was lucky enough to act in some of them, and I fell in love with it.

There are a lot of musicians in my life. But movies came first for me. That was my original passion.

I had come from an orchestral background, but I didn't really have any orchestral pieces for film.

So film music is something I absolutely wanna get involved in.

Certainly, I've loved musicals for a while, so I did some short films in college that had musical numbers and things like that, so I've kind of been obsessed with Fred and Ginger and Vincente Minnelli and Stanley Donen and Jaques Demy forever.

I've always been interested in music. In high school, I did a lot of musical theater, and I loved it.
