I write so much better when I’m in a familiar environment. For me, food and shelter feeds my compositions.

That having been said, I’m a big fan of the emotional ups and downs that I experience throughout the day. They also give me fuel for my compositions; fuel that I like to use in agreeable surroundings.

For me, negatively has often been a catalyst towards the beginning of a creative cycle.

However, fine tuning a piece that has already been started seems to progress better with a cool head. My compositions need a level-headedness when it comes to balancing orchestration and dynamics in full scores. It’s amazing how many elements go into composing a passionate, yet balanced orchestral work!
