 And I don't know where I'm heading. I mean, I've got a pretty good idea of what I want in life. |
| I do remember being in high school and trying to go to an Outlaws concert, but I was too drunk and ended up in trouble with the police at some truck stop on 95 in Connecticut. |
| First, I'm trying to edit down about 7 hours of material which I made prior to the Cop days and find some way to get it out. This stuff is pretty out there, mostly sonic collages and tape manipulations. |
| I actually went to film school and was making experimental films for a short time, so it wasn't such a leap. |
| I guess professionally it began when Hal Hartley used some music of mine in his film The Unbelievable Truth. |
| Also, differences of opinion can be creatively stimulating as well as frustrating. |
| Unfortunately, however, I have too many desires to make a good Buddhist. |
| I'm from all over the Northeast. |
| I think that one of the strengths of Cop Shoot Cop lay in the different, and at times, clashing personalities, Ideally, I want to have both ways of working in my life. |
| When I recorded Contra la Puerta, I never really thought out doing the material live. Mostly because I haven't really seen any electronic music performed live in an interesting way. |
| But Contra la Puerta was done mostly in the opposite way, starting with sounds and melodies. |
| If the finest hour is now, then I'll always be in it. |
| I grew up outside of DC, New York state, and Connecticut. |
| And I think that I'd be a natural for scoring horror movies. |
| I'm just like you, only I'm different because I'm me. |
| But that's something that I like about scoring film: it makes me reach out of the parameters of my self, it requires me to do things musically that I wouldn't normally do left to my own devices. |
| And I definitely have an affinity with the piano. |
| In scoring, I usually start with a sound or group of sounds, searching out what feels right. |
| Yes, I was forced to take piano lessons for 8 years as a child. |
| Then I took 8 years of French Horn, first jazz, and then classical. |
