I don't watch TV that much, but I like to get series on DVD and watch them all back-to-back.
- Emotion

- Nov 07, 2020
I think melancholy is kind of a misunderstood emotion. I don't think it's necessarily an unpleasant or bad emotion.
- Derives
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Melancholy is a state that I very much enjoy being in, actually. It's not the same as feeling sad. It's a more complex emotion; it derives from a tragic view of the world, a tragic view of art.

- Nov 07, 2020
I think my music is a way of communicating very directly with people and with people's emotions. I try to make music that doesn't need layers of complexity or obfuscation to speak to people.

- Nov 07, 2020
Music should resonate with people on an emotional level. That's one of the criterions I use for an idea. Does it speak simply and directly without obfuscation and without being unnecessarily complex or obscure?

When I write music for a film, I'm not writing a solo album, and I'm not writing a personal piece. I'm part of a team of artists. So I think like a filmmaker more than a composer.
- Death
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Orphee' is, for me, about changes: about moving to a new city, leaving behind an old life in Copenhagen, and building a new one in Berlin - about the death of old relationships and the birth of new ones.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Making 'Orphee' has been a true labour of love, one that has been a part of my life for six years, and yet the music always remained fresh - it was constantly in a state of flux and renewal.
- Nov 07, 2020
I think I have a sound or a certain feel in certain harmonies in the way I construct melodies.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, 'Blade Runner' is one of the big influences in my life - I saw it when I was 13 or 14, when it first came out, and since, I've seen it many, many times.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
That's one of the hardest parts of putting together an album - finding that concept, that unifying idea. Especially as I write mostly in instrumental music, the idea of having a central concept that unifies the music is very important to me.
- Fear
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Public speaking is something I fear more than death itself.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I try not to obfuscate or to be to obscure or to be too cerebral. I like to work on a visceral, emotional level.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Music has to be treated in the same way as set design, casting, or choice of location - it has to start at the same time.
- Moving
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In this post-industrial society, when we're moving away from what was the norm, we have to deal with what it has left in its wake in terms of the impact on people and the environment.

- Nov 07, 2020
Very early on, I started improvising. I was more interested in the music that came out of me than any music I heard.
- Distinctive
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Brass has a very distinctive sound. It's delicate but powerful, but it's also melancholic and plaintive.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've never been very good at creating absolute music, which has no non-musical dimension to it. I think that is why filmmakers gravitated toward my work.
- Music

- Nov 07, 2020
'End of Summer' expands the way I want to express myself as a composer. It's a piece of visual music that has this narrative and conceptual dimension to it.

I've been sort of playing music since I was probably 8 years old or something like that.
- Always
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Even when I was studying piano, I always preferred to play around with my own improvisations rather than do my studies. So I've always been interested in writing music from a very early age.

- Nov 07, 2020
I think it took me until - my twenties were really a time of exploration and experimentation with different groups and different types of music. Then I kind of developed the sound, which first appeared, I guess, on my first solo album 'Englaborn,' which came out in 2001.
