I started playing piano at age 6 and pretty much have played ever since. Sometmes a few months or years would go by when I didn't touch a piano, but those times always pained me and gnawed at my soul. Early on I was affected by the drama and dark beauty of Beethoven, the incredible sweetness and also sometimes light, sometimes very dark sounds of Chopin, Schubert, Debussy, Bach and many others, including some contemporary artists. I only started composing later in life, and since I started, my has been turned inside out. In a beautiful way, that is. My thought about composing is that I don't often feel as if I'm actually "creating" music. Rather I feel I'm finding some beautiful sounds that already exist and I'm just capturing them and organizing them the way I want them to be.
