As interesting as that music can occasionally be, I don't think it really replaces the other.

Although technical discussions are interesting to composers, I suspect that the truly magical and spiritual powers of music arise from deeper levels of our psyche.

Most of my influences are turn-of-the-century.

Writing seems to be more difficult as you move through the years.
