When you have performers, there's the uniqueness of live performance and what performers do in concerts.

With a piece of classical music by Haydn, Mozart, or Beethoven, on first listening I'm referencing it with other pieces by them that I know. I think that most people do this - they listen to pieces through the filter of pieces they already know.

It's always a thrill for me to see new versions of my pieces on YouTube.

I noticed things in my computer music that were getting old, and I started to figure out that this has to do with the way the listener interacts with music.

I had been creating music on tape that was to be listened to as a recording, rather than through performance.

I think of myself as an experimentalist even though much of my music sounds logical and normal, in a sense.
