I can't say that electronic gear is restrictive. I think it is a challenge to play with electronic gear, and I regularly [perform] concerts with guys who are processing sound.

I like to express true emotions under the cover of melancholy: It includes fulfilment and pain, which describes human existence.

When I read a script, I am already in the movie with my music, and I can dive into a world that I haven't seen before.
