And when I'm writing well and when I'm inside the feeling, then I can do fairly complicated things with some fluency.
I never liked opera growing up. I always liked chamber music or solo music even more than orchestral music.

My work on hyper instruments started with simple instruments, like the piano.
Nobody talks about music as having intrinsic meaning, how it engages the mind.
I like the idea of imagining a sound and feeling a sound and then having it come out through your body, through an instrument. That's an important way to make music.
