I've always loved aggressive, hard, noisy, yet melodic bands, and at the same time I've always loved 'Blue' by Joni Mitchell.

After all my years of doing instrumental music I still like just a simple instrumental song with a nice catchy melody and an opportunity to play a solo over a harmonic structure.

I like to listen the blues and some classical.

I like songs that have lots of different parts in them, an intro, an outro and a bridge.

I'm just kind of a music junkie. Whatever I'm doing at the moment is my favorite.

Then I started checking out blues albums from the library and playing the harp along with them.

It's like a whole orchestra, the piano for me.

I played a lot of Bach's partitas and sonatas; I like the way that Bach was abstracting already from these dance forms.

I always create book soundtracks to capture the overall mood I'm going for and listen to them as I write. Those songs and scores really fuse with the scenes in my mind.
