#composer

I've had those people very interested in my writing. Since I think of myself as a composer, I feel really good. I've had lots of guys call me up. I've gotten two or three commissions to write things. I've written lots of movie scores. ↗

I probably belong to a type of composer of songs who keeps thinking about melody... I am old fashioned. ↗

I think that one of the things that influences me most as a composer is to what extent I can deconstruct and reconstruct the material that I'm working with. ↗
