Q: I’ve read somewhere that you do not consider yourself a songwriter, but rather someone that structures music and sounds, performing the orchestration of the pieces, sort of orthogonal to the whole natural songwriting process.

From there, I think I can build a piece of music which can illustrate what the song’s all about by, firstly, creating an atmosphere. Once that feels right, the rest of the process is structural, rather like finishing a complicated jigsaw, and I gradually fit all the elements together and refine the sound.
