"It’s more about catharsis… kind of like a release. You can listen to the album just for the vibes, and be like “I like how this sounds, I like how hard this track goes”, but if you wanted to pay attention to my lyrics and experience the things I’ve been through with me, you can."

"What fascinates me about [Steve Reich] — and this is maybe why I write the fast, detailed music that I do — is the microdetails that emerge from the phase-shifting processes." ~ @taymuzik1572
“I call myself a choreographer rather than a composer, but I think my work is innately musical. I feel musical inside me, so my work has a natural rhythm, natural tone, natural melody.” ~ @tannacjc
“A graphic score is like a paper bag. You can undo it to get what’s inside, you can mess around with it all, and do it back up and it’s still a bag. Standard notation is like a cardboard box, but to get into it you’ve had to rip it open.” ~ @cat.does.creating
