We moved neighborhoods.
And at this new school, I had to make new friends, and I fell in with a group of musical friends.
And I was the only one who didn't play.
But it was a friend who played trumpet, and he turned me on to Stravinsky.
And it was like, oh, my God.
So to the uninitiated, what is it about Stravinsky that still moves you?
The fact that anything could happen at any time with the music.
Because, you know, I knew Beethoven and Mozart, and I loved it.
But if eight bars does this, it will be followed by eight bars that then goes to that.
It will echo each other.
And with Stravinsky, and then finally that led to Prokofiev and Shostakovich and the Russian composers that became my life.
But...
I felt like anything can explode out of this orchestra at any moment.
It could be playing along, playing along, and then just stop.
But that's what I think of your film music.
That's what I think of.
And that's what I loved.
And it just changed my world.
You know, it literally was like... I'm lucky that I started out in the days... It was like the punk era, even though, as you know, we weren't a punk band.
But it was that era.
