The voyage is the goal...
Composing music is for me a way of expression, and I'm good at being inspired by a variety of things in life.
It could be a movie I've seen, a book I've read, just spending time with my daughter or a magazine article I find captivating.
Recently I was even inspired by doing crochet.
Different kinds of music can certainly be a source of inspiration: a beat, a bass figure, an unusual instrument or a certain harmony can get my imagination going.
I find it important to write music with pencil and paper, at least initially. That way I have time to hear the phrases in my head. The next step is the piano. But I don´t use a feather ink pen...! I use the computer to make the score and also when I do electroacoustic music (of course).
I compose music intuitively. Seeing where it takes me is an adventure in itself.
The voyage is the goal...
Sincerely,
