I'm not an intellectual composer.

I don't really listen to much music.

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

I don't enjoy songwriting.

I don't really listen to music.

However, very recently I have come to an understanding that complex music is not necessarily pleasant.

But I can't really say there is too much modern music that I'm blown away by at this moment.

I cannot listen to Beethoven or Mahler or Chopin or Bach when I write because those composers require you stop what you are doing and listen.

I read very little contemporary anything.
