Almost all of my music is about nothing. I like music because it is the most abstract art form.
I make electronic music and this influences my instrumental music.
I often write music with continual ritardandi and accelerandi.
I am a pianist, so most of my compositions include the piano.
Right now I love Autechre, Beethoven, Furrer, Gamelan Gong Keybar, Haas, Scriabin, Sibelius, Stucky
