What is a scene? a) a scene starts and ends in one place at one time (the aristotelian unities of time and place-this stuff goes waaaayyyy back). b) a scene starts in one place emotionally and ends in another place emotionally. starts angry, ends embarrassed. starts lovestruck, ends disgusted. c) something happens in a scene, whereby the character cannot go back to the way things were before. make sure to finish a scene before you go on to the next. make something happen.

I love jazz. so to me, there are two main types of jazz. there's dancing jazz, and then there's listening jazz. listening jazz is like thelonius monk or john coltrane, where it's a listening experience. so that's what i like; i like to make stuff that you listen to. it's not really meant to get you up; it's meant to get your mind focused. that's why you sit and listen to jazz. you dance to big band or whatever, but for the most part, you sit and listen to jazz. i think it comes from that aesthetic, trying to take that jazz listening experience and put it on hip-hop.

I grew up listening to a lot of player-piano music in my house and a lot of old tin pan alley songs and american standards. my dad listened to a lot of traditional irish music and i grew up doing musical theater. so most of the music i was exposed to as a kid was pre-rock n' roll.

I only knew classical music, which to me was the only true music. the only way i could survive at the bar was to mix the classical music with popular songs, and that meant i had to sing. what happened was that i discovered i had a voice plus the talent to mix classical music together with more popular songs, which at the time i detested.

I rarely listen to music while writing. if i don't like it, it bothers me, and if i like it, it absorbs me so much i can't write.

It doesn't take long to sum up the major theses of most popular music: he loves me; he left me; i need him; i needed him, but now i need his best friend. rather limited scope.
