hope you reach your first 1000 soon." Most of those are from people in the rock
and pop categories.
What's the coolest compliment you've ever received?
I got an email from this composer. He does a lot of music for TV and
movies. He did Animal Farm. He linked me to his site and he gave me some
advice. He said all I really need is some more training and an orchestra to make my
music complete.
I do get a lot of really nice email though.
How would you describe your music?
I tried to do that on my site, it's very difficult. I love instruments more than
words or singing. I don't think music needs lyrics. I think instruments can tell a
story and display emotion.
What are your influences?
To be honest, well, Nintendo music specifically. I will be a nerd and say it
out loud. I love videogame music. But I also love film scores. John Williams,
James Homer and especially Danny EUman.
I'll be having my art show and I will be playing music with it. I'll have my
CDs for sale there.
What are your plans?
Can you call them hopes? I hope to be famous and I say that all the time and
laugh inside because it takes somebody with motivation. But when it comes to
music I am motivated. I think that's what it takes and I have it.
My ultimate dream is to score music for motion pictures. For the meantime
rU keep selling CDs on MP3.com.
When are you going to do a theme song for The Lance?

I've just finished a piece that's influenced by hip
hop. It started off with just a beat but their are some
j obvious symphonic-techno symphonic-things in it.
I'm also in Connectionz. I'm going to play my
keyboard and put on show el whappo.
What are you working on right now?
I have something in mind. I just have to put the instruments together.
