Reducing it to the extremes, there are two possible ways of spending
your childhood in Germany play soccer or play music. Well, now guess
what my choice was... Remember Mozart?
Okay, don't worry, nobody's
getting megalomaniac here, we'll just refer to ONE of his many
characteristical qualities.
Well, this quite famous Austrian had a very special way of composing music: he traveled to different countries in order to listen to foreign musicians works and when returning home, Mozarts following compositions didnt sound like the ones he had done before.
He sort of took the impressions he got from others and translated them into his very own musical language. I think this is the best way of describing my style of producing: being influenced but not to copy. And luckily today theres the internet, so getting international impressions neednt be that time-consuming any more...
