Personally, I do the best work with people I'm closest with. I know what their tastes are, and they are similar to mine. That close personal relationship is what delivers the best work.

I like it when I go into a cinema and I'm not aware that I'm there; I'm totally involved in the film for two hours.

My wife is a classically trained piano player, and she also orchestrates.

My brother, who's ten years younger than me, worked with me in the studio when he was very young. He's a guitar player and does programming as well. To have the working and personal relationship coincide has been very natural.

For me, making music is a continuous learning experience, and I think that it feeds itself.

A scene gets cut a few frames here and there, but there's a cumulative effect to it, and then the music needs to be reworked. It's demanding, but when you see the improved cuts, it's always better.
