I'm not an intellectual composer.

I am an interpreter of music rather than a composer of it.

I consider myself a composer.

I write music that sounds complex but isn't. I frankly never think in terms of theory.

I've always been a composer dependent on texts.

I don't know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don't really need to.

I was not influenced by composers as much as by natural objects and physical phenomena.

I'm a composer, man.

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.
