In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest memories is when I was a child living in Tokyo, Japan. We would play Japanese Pop music. I remember singing along and releasing that, while the melody was catchy and the song made me really happy, I did not understand the lyrics!
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Kronos Quartet, Crumb: Black Angels my bloody valentine, Loveless 武満徹, Ran (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) I deeply love these albums. They all scared or unnerved me when I first heard them while leaving deep impressions about how unorthodox instrumental and vocal colours could be explored and utilised in different musical forms and contexts.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Helm Hammerhand Still Stands” I loved writing this emotionally intense cue as part of the score to 'The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim. When I first played it for the director, Kenji Kamiyama, he cried out 'That was AMAZING!!'. That was a good day.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Composing the score for Kenji Kamiyama's animated feature film 'The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim' was a highlight. Winning an Emmy for the work that we did on 'The Beatles: Get Back' was great!
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I would very much love to write the score for a large science fiction project.
