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.

Music is there to enrich your life and make you aware of things in a slightly different way.

I try to make my music interesting to me first, then hopefully other people will find it interesting, too.

Music is a really great creative tool for me, for different roles.

Being able to take musical ideas through every iteration is attractive to me. Granted, not everyone's going to want to listen to that, but it should exist.

Music gives us new energy and a stronger sense of purpose.

I'm not really interested in music. Music is just a means of creating a magical state.

Music has always been my back door to life. It is important for people to find something that excites them. I like the concept that if you do what excites you, you will be rewarded generously, whatever form reward takes, which is not necessarily money.

It's wonderful when music is intellectually stimulating. But ultimately it has to be a visceral experience.

I've realized that I love all forms of music and get excited when any artist goes crazy and creates something that is an experience.
