Paul dinletir biography

Paul Dinletir.

Do you still practice? If so, what do your practice sessions look like? A few years ago, I read an interview with John Williams where he gave advice to up and coming composers, he said to work on your craft every day even if you only have five minutes. I took that to heart and I have been composing something everyday since then, I sit and work on the piano for as little as two minutes or a few hours working in and out of my comfort zone, eventually the good ideas make it to the studio where I can then explore them further.

Where do you find inspiration? Inspiration comes from odd places, I once saw a Michael Jordan documentary that had a lasting effect on me, with the hardwork and dedication of his craft, I wanted to translate that to my world. Where are you when you have the most a-ha moments? What do you do to maintain a creative flow? I get away from it, a little hike or a yoga practice even a couple of days away makes me more creative.

How much do you rely on feedback from others to help shape your ideas? I however, will be very critical and try to observe it from a different angle, difficult but can be done. What is the greatest obstacle to creativity? When you complete a project, how often does it resemble your initial concept or conceived idea? How important is this for you?

Now I feel that my pieces are more of an organic fluid creations that comes together at the end with all the nuances that get added along the journey, sometime my original concept is completely different from the finished work. Before you get to this point, you keep messing with it for hours or days with no added advantage. How do you resolve creative differences with clients or creative partners?
