"I came here to study composing and orchestration for film music and video game music and so far I’ve been challenged to think in directions I didn’t think I would. I’m doing a lot of stuff that I’m not really good at, which is very stimulating and inspiring, such as singing in a musical, working in a studio, conducting an orchestra and playing classical piano. Before I came to Goldsmiths I had been studying jazz drumming and piano and in my spare time composed a lot of jazz, fusion, progressive, orchestral film music and orchestral/electronic videogame music. I’ve also joined the basketball team to get some work outs, since I’m basically sitting on my butt the whole day writing, reading or playing music, if I’m not partying with my flatmates. There are so many resources at Goldsmiths that one can take advantage of, and I’m sure I’ve only yet to tap the surface of what my possibilities are at this diverse and resourceful university."
