I got a new 4-track cassette recorder a year or so after high school. For a while I would just stare at it thinking, how am I going to do this if I don't play guitar or keyboards? How am I going to write and record a song if I don't know how to play any instruments? I mean, I played the violin, but I didn't know anything about how to work a 4-track.
I remember watching Looney Tunes cartoons and having the music stuck in my head.
I always related my favorite music to the movies.
I like things that start depressing and dark and end up romantic, and thats what I really loved about King Kong.
