David Six: Making Music Out Of This World

Daniel Mège By Daniel Mège

View read count
AAJ: You have a huge number of compositions on your website, I think 140 or something. Many of them have not been recorded, I guess?

DS: Yeah, that's true, many aren't recorded. I just genuinely love composing, and most of it gets played live at some point, but recording everything simply isn't realistic. Financially it's not something that's really there, unless it's a well-made live recording. And honestly, even beyond that I think that I'm quite picky about what I actually want to put out. I only want to release the things that I think will really hold up over time, pieces where I can imagine still wanting to listen to them in 15 years.

AAJ: Now I think I'm finally running out of questions!

DS: Which is an interesting thing to say for a scientist! [Laughs]
