i think when i first started writing i always said to everyone "i really want
strings i really want strings in my music" and i don't think i knew what that actually meant.
When we're rolling, and you can kinda hear the clicks of the bows and everyone's breath
and seats creaking - and they play their first note - and yeah. you're like. thank god! ha!
i knew that i wanted to try arranging for a larger section just by myself so i tried and i did it and
oh my god! it's so weird when you're arranging on MIDI and it just sounds awful it just sounds like
quacks. But you just have to trust that the players will you know do their own little
inflictions and slides and fade outs and
bring their own feeling. Ah - gosh it just sounded perfect.
