"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
