What are you reading at the moment?

 I'm always reading Finnegans wake by James Joyce 

Do you like garlic or not?

I do.

Beatles or Stones?

Led Zeppelin 

If you had one day to live what would you do?

Listen to Bach's Passacaglia in c minor for organ while eating calamari with my loved one.

It is 2097 and your piece is played to an audience of 14 robots, 35 people, and 76 animals of varying sorts, how will they all react and what do you want them to feel?

4 advanced robots will be able to create a detailed blueprint of the piece's structure, 10 will be lost in the calculations, and all of them won't be able to feel anything. 17 people will say it is too avant-garde and the rest 18 that it is too traditional. All of the animals will continue to live their lives unbothered by the irrelevant sounds.  

If you could invent a new instrument what would it look like and how would it sound?

I've always wanted to make a gigantic garden of wind chimes.

In an ideal world when and how should people listen to your music?

They should be aware of the structure's motion throughout the whole piece and be able to dissect in their mind all the layers of non-musical meanings, which include references to literature in different languages, ancient traditional ritualistic practices, quantum physics, surrealism among others. Thus, it appears they should be calculating robots with a beating heart larger than their head.   

Your favourite place to compose: a cave, an attic, a café, on the train, or are you inspired everywhere?

I'm inspired when waking or washing dishes and love to compose in a very quiet and light space.  

Do you sleep on your back, front, or side?

On my right side. 

What is your biggest dream and what is your biggest fear?

My dream is to be able to compose faster without any pain and struggle. My fear is to be able to compose so fast that there is no pain and struggle to make my music less boring.  

What bores you?

Too many notes.
