So, as for music: I write everything from Nintendo chiptunes to orchestral film scores to smooth jazz to house to bluegrass.

My career depends on versatility, and I try to faithfully reproduce any genre I attempt, through obsessive analysis and respect for those who have mastered their styles.

I'm always terrified of being asked what kind of music I write. Having to explain that yesterday I wrote a speed metal song using a Game Boy, and today I'm writing a disco ballad about frosted cereal.. it's awkward at the best of times. I wish I could just say "Gypsy Jazz." or "Mostly Flamenco, with some Enka here and there." You know, maybe I will, from now on.

Rather than innovating or expressing deep emotions, I approach music as a way to make people laugh or smile. My favorite musicians are those who take their technique seriously, but not themselves.

I hope I can leave some kind of positive mark on the world, but if not, at least I'm loving life and I have awesome friends. Can't ask for much more than that.
