I have always loved Scottish music - all sorts of Celtic, Gaelic music.

Learning how to improvise really awakened my interest in music.

Music is the subliminal connecting adhesive in film, or at least in narrative feature films.

I write music to please myself. Hopefully the director's enjoying it too.

I don't find myself lobbying for projects. Filmmakers almost always come to me.

Celtic music will always be around, even if with the mainstream crowds it dies out.
