I’m not a structured composer, and I never had any proper schooling in it. Instead I see it as an extension of my playing and a tool for developing my playing.

Keep going to see live music, there is nothing more inspiring even if sometimes it makes you realise what you still need to do. It’s important to have some inspirational reference points.
I love the process of actually creating a score.
