"As I work through early prototypes of new vocal music, I find myself going back to recordings of things I’ve made spontaneously, probably because improvised gestures feel more linguistic to me than formalist." buff.ly/4fqb5UN

"The word “composer” is no longer functioning as a descriptor to do with the means you work with. To some degree, yes, you work with sound, but moreso: it functions as an invitation to align yourself within a certain canon." buff.ly/3VEVg5o

"I’m trying to take an autoethnographical approach with my doctorate. One way I’m doing that is getting more and more into my DJing. What I’ve been learning to do for the past two years [is] to incorporate that into my composing as much as possible." buff.ly/4eHGjGz

"At that time I felt a lot of rage which has now diffused — it was a rage which became focused on the ways things were taught and conceptualised, and the way that composing in particular was assumed to be." buff.ly/4fFzMO2

"This interplay between roles as “working professionals” and as composers can cultivate a creative fusion that can strengthen artistic expression. Rather than diminishing our identities as composers or artists, our day jobs can actively support them." buff.ly/4fHu2TP

"Classical music, for so long, was dance music. So many of the pieces we look up to as 'great works' have their origins in dance music of the time... So I was like: 'Why am I not letting that into the weird soup of inspiration?'" buff.ly/3Ybq1kP

"[The band circuit] feels, in a strange way, a much healthier model. Almost everyone isn’t talking about making lots of money, or any money, from touring or gigging, but they are dedicated to it and love it — and most importantly, it forms a community." buff.ly/4fFzMO2
