Since a young boy, I have been sort of making — creating music and creating some things. ((Seized By A Certain Hunger, Tried To Express It)) My mom and dad had a children’s opera company in the village where we lived. ((Replace A Clown, Theater Background, Vernon Lee)) And as a young boy, I was already on stage singing and seeing people paint a mountain on a piece of cardboard and suddenly the stage turned into the mountains, and that sort of magic of theater was already discovered quite early on. ((Cup Of Tea Pt. 1)) And I always have been a very sort of visual orientated person as well, it’s sort of auditive.

And I guess gradually all these lines came together, and the music started to be more and more visual, I started to write down more and more sort of directional notes in my scores, not only which notes I should play, but also how they should look like on stage, and whether they should freeze movement or playback, all these things that you can’t hear, but can see. ((D’om Le Vrai Sens, Shocking Experience)) So, very gradually I started extending my sort of musical vocabulary with the visual layer.
