Music and 'feeling' go hand and hand for me and when I am in my studio creating I find that the type of music I choose will inform my actions on my piece. Gregorian chants will give a different result to Joanna Newsome or a Bach Fuge.

I find I can use these 'feelings' in a contrived manner sometimes to set the mood I'm hoping to go for, but music always surprises and leaves one in a state unexpected.
