To me it's all about textures, and that's the side of music that I'm finding really exciting. I feel like it's one of the only parts of music that mankind hasn't fully discovered yet.
I'm a very textural composer. I care a lot about textures and gestures. Electronics add so much to that. It's like a flavor - it creates so much texture.
When I make music, it's a very visual thing. Conjures up a lot of images.
I make music to generate atmospheres, not to complement already existing ones.
I think as I get older, I'm just going to start making smooth, new age music - no joke.
I purposely try to make my music cinematic. I try to inspire visuals even though I'm only an instrument of sound.
Ultimately, what we do as musicians, I think of us as a type of emotional engineer. We essential take these sound waves, this sound, and we organize it into emotion, and that's how we connect with our audiences.
The best musicians or sound-artists are people who never considered themselves to be artists or musicians.
I want to soundtrack people's layered feelings.
And I'm always interested when other musicians are trying to discover new worlds of sound.
Music happens. It cannot be made.
