I always try to think of a vocabulary to match different musical situations.
I just consider myself a student, trying to learn more about it.
I remember times when the whole music scene was just flourishing.
I like to hear melodies that go from one extreme to the next- saxophone to a bell to a whistle, for instance.
If you listen to nature, all the sounds are done in a confident way. I'm trying to do that.
