"We are moved by music sometimes with the inexorable force of a locomotive, sometimes with the gentleness of a whisper, but either way, music is a journey into another dimension. Time is suspended, and we can taste the infinite. The sensuousness of the sounds themselves is the invitation. The intellect provides a structure, without which only an emotional house of cards exists, but if explanations are necessary to "get it", I don't get it. A catalyst is often humor, which is closely related with truth, which is in turn the backbone of beauty. And above all, to quote a teacher of mine, music must make one's rear end twitch."

"My music is a product of my early rock and jazz background combined with my later exposure, as a classically trained pianist, with the literature of the Baroque through the Contemporary. I am especially attracted to the French Impressionists as well as later composers such as Satie and Poulenc. and my music often stresses the sensuousness of the sound itself, as well as sharing the French proclivity for a piquant humor. Other contemporary composers who have influenced me include Bartok, Prokofiev, Stravinskiy, Shostakovitch, Messiaen, and recently, George Antheil."

"I believe in the importance of structure, but it must feel transparent and is not an interesting aim in itself for me. I like to employ a "free" countrapuntal writing palette, as well as its antithesis at times, a clear melodic idea supported by other layers of "atmospheric" texture. Harmonically, I seem to have developed a Jazz-based idiom, often with tri-tone relationships. A strong rhythmic drive is essential to my style, although I also like to make time "stop", attempting to enter the "other" world beyond our earthly boundaries. Also of paramount importance for me is that the music feel to the performer as if it is being improvised, yet inevitable. This explains why the majority of my output has been for or includes the piano, my own instrument."
