- 3:03 Wanting to be called Donald Duck?!
- 6:19 Learning 7 instruments in high school
- 11:41 The vision
- 18:37 Was Berkeley instrumental to Alvin's career?

- 27:10 Being nice in a cutthroat industry?!
- 29:42 Harry Gregson-Williams wrote a letter supporting his US visa application!
- 33:26 Landing his first gig - Final Fantasy 13
- 35:43 Finding the next projects
- 37:27 Working with Harry Gregson-Williams & Hans Zimmer
- 43:19 What's the Hans Zimmer Camp?

- 48:22 Not being pigeon-holed
