I miss Victoria.

Big fan, Eric.

As an aspiring music teacher, what pieces of advice can you offer me that you wish someone had offered to you?

The unique way that your music is written is absolutely gorgeous. Where do you draw your inspiration and what moved you to this method?

The Virtual Choirs have been absolutely amazing. What provoked you to bring them to life?

Coca~Cola or Pepsi?

Edit: A joke you might have heard, but I just discovered: How do you know if a soprano is at your door?

For my anniversary last year, my wife and I visited the ocean. The hotel we were staying in had a "Special Requests" field, and I had asked for a picture of you to be placed in the room in lieu of the standard chocolates/flowers cliches. They did not fulfill that request, which was disappointing.

However, if the man himself could impart some wisdom for my wife and I (and all other couples), I think that would more than make up for it. Any secrets to getting the most out life and love?

Thanks for everything you do, Ron! You're an absolute badass.

Sup, Jay?

Fuck one, marry one, kill one:

What do you do?

I remember reading about synesthesia a long time ago in the back of a video game magazine. If I remember correctly, the guy interviewed stated that guitar looked like purple zig zags, saxophone looked like blue waves, and the trumpet (his least favorite because it was so boring) looked like an orange ball.

If I could opt in (sounds strange/bad) to have any harmless condition, this would definitely be it. Being a very musically oriented individual, this "condition" has always fascinated me and I believe it has endless potential in helping create new pieces of music/other art forms.

I kind of get feelings when I hear certain instruments, but I don't find them as severe as you do in that I don't see anything. For example, to me, guitars typically feel yellow or red, piano is always blue, most brass is green, choral music depends on the genre.

If you get the chance, please listen to this recording of a vocal piece called "Sleep" composed by Eric Whitacre. Everything he does is amazing, this is my favorite piece in particular (and feels blue/purple to me).

Hope to hear back from you. Thanks for the AMA!
