Of all the arts, music is really the most abstract.

Today each composer is not only involved in aesthetics, but he's actually trying to create his own language.

There are some people, by the way, that associate a certain amount of visualization with the performance of music. Those are people that really are not centrally concerned only with music, the traditional things.

Hopefully, I have a certain amount of what you call musical talent.

To the person that deals in visualizations, I suppose there is something rather exciting about a whole set of people - they all going symmetrically, up or down, in a military sort of precision.

I'm really interested in writing a piece of music that will move you, that will really move you. That is really the only reason that I'm writing music.

In writing music, the structure of each piece is a very important factor.
