He does not create the impression of wanting to express anything; rather, he is using a very analytical, calculating approach to create his effects.
Because his genre is scary films, rather than building bridges, the goal of his scientific, engineering mind is to affect emotions. Were he, instead, describing how to build violins, he would no doubt use the same matter-of-fact, calculating, craftsman-like approach to achieve his clearly-defined goals.
