“Nothing will work unless you do” Maya Angelou quote.This is to composers, writers, lyricists and music producers who are doing too much thinking, contemplating, dreaming, over planning, and yes, too much talking.

Hi Peter its great youre experimenting with different styles. The more we expand in doing this the more balanced we are. I started studying piano actually when I was 13 and my teacher also taught me theory and harmony. I later went on to study orchestration, counterpoint and piano at UC Irvine but had to drop out to take care of my mother who had cancer. Anyway, that's the sum of my education. How about you? I noticed you have a website. Who designed it for you? A website is my next step.

- Hello Peter, "Endkampf"(= final combat) is in dead part of a film music score; I used samples as you mean this, I have no experiences in use of electronic instruments like ondes martenot, theremin or synthesizers in combination with traditional instruments. I was in a Masterclass with Stockhausen and I ´m very fascinated by his pieces like "Octophonie", it sounds a little bit "brucknerian" I think.
