“I have tried to write soundtracks, and the main problem with those was that the directors often had in their minds a much stronger sense of what they wanted to hear, than what I was willing to give them, and I guess there was no way to say, "Well why don't you write your scene around my music?" Because that's just cocky and awful.” WayGivingWritingMindWellsProblemWantedWillingSceneDirectorsMusic IsStrongerAwfulCockySoundtracks Author:Zach Condon

“The greatest thing about my house was that I was in the far end of it and I could make as much noise as I wanted. By the time I moved out, I had a full-sized piano, two full-sized organs, bits and pieces of a drum kit, and a whole computer set up for Pro Tools. I had this mattress in between the piano and the organ. That was the only walking room.” TwoEndsWholeWantedHouseBitsRoomsPiecesWalkingComputerToolsMovedNoisePianoOrgansBits And PiecesMattresses Author:Zach Condon
“My dad is obsessed with music, so I was raised around this guitar player that really wanted me to be a guitar player. One of my earliest memories is him kind of forcing a guitar on all my brothers and me. You know, "You have to practice three hours a day!" I hated guitar at the time. I kind of picked up trumpet to spite him.” KnowsKindWantedThreeHoursMemoriesPracticePlayerBrotherDadRaisedGuitarMy DadHatedObsessedMy BrotherSpiteTrumpetsGuitar Player Author:Zach Condon
