“Exterminate all the brutes!”

I don’t like the word “experiment” in the context of art in general. It implies something immature, unfinished, something entertaining for a moment before it becomes irrelevant.

My music lives because of real players.

I wrote my first piano piece when I was in 4th grade.

Growing up in Poland, I didn’t have the experience of going to Disneyland as a child, so I don’t have any childhood memories connected to it, good or bad.

I always try not to overload my music with orchestration and to use only those instruments that are absolutely necessary.

Jewelry, to me, is a pain in the derriere, because you have to be watching it all the time.

When I’m stylizing, it’s all about accessories.
