Music has been dormant with me for decades. Somehow I needed a respite after the familiar opposition of accepting a place in the conservatory (I tried out as organist and as percussionist and got accepted as percussionist). It was not until I needed music for one of my other artistic skills, film making, that it came back in force. Since then I have decided to also adapt classical music... among others because it reduces the amount of fights about authorship I have with the BMI, BMG and GEMA. If some of their nice kids have a problem with the music I can always wipe a centuries old sheet music under their noses (and yes, that happened with my interpretation of Albinoni's Adagio).
