I always have music playing in my studio when I design. It really gets me in the mood and allows me to focus.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I see music as an aid. It overcomes my internal editor, especially when the music evokes the character or the mood I'm trying to build.
I always listen to a lot of different music when I am working on a project.
Music is a really great creative tool for me, for different roles.
I think that creative work, music in particular, is a conveyor of inner emotional life. I don't feel one way all the time, so I don't want my music to feel the same way all the time.
I'm very easily distracted unless I have music on. Listening to music while I brainstorm makes me think of scenes that would fit the mood of the music I'm playing.
Music is a big influence in my work and sometimes drives the energy of where I want to go.
When I'm doing just music all the time, it can get really overwhelming. It's always challenging to switch it up a bit. And just because you're a musician, it doesn't mean that music is your only creative outlet.
My training as an engineer has enabled me to design the stuff, but the reason I do it is not to make music but for the opportunity to work with musicians.
I usually enter the studio with a mix of songs that I've been listening to that are relevant to the sound I want to achieve.
The way I work on music is that I go into my studio, and I start playing music, and I see what happens, and... I never think about it.
