And speaking of 300, here’s Ode to Stelios...Michael Fassbender...or fondly known as ""Rockstar" in my house. (Deep by NIN)

Sounds Like: Who do I sound like? I’m not a fan of this "box question," though it’s understandable. As my mom would say, "You are who you hang with..." I apply that to music/composing, "You are who you listen to..." & I listen to a lot.

I write in various styles and genres: orchestral compositions film scores songs. For me, the sheer joy of writing is never knowing what’s going to come out of my head and onto the page. In a way, it’s a blessing, to not fit into the "music box."

And thank you for taking a moment to listen.
