What was once underground is now coming to the surface.

Writing tonal music now, you are not writing into the 19th Century.

I remember once, when I started writing for the alto saxophone, a saxophonist told me to think of it as being like a cross between an oboe and a viola, but louder.

Craft is part of the creative process.

Similarly you can make a transition from one set of instruments to another imperceptibly.

When Philip Glass asked me if I would be interested in doing a new recording of Jesus' Blood he assumed that I would do something similar to the first version and wanted to know what other pieces would be on the same CD.
