"Graphic scores can engage with the act of ‘composing’ as a kind of performance in its own right... " #BMC50
Tom Barnes on Pre-recorded Sounds and Improvisation
"These days I see composing as a slowed-down version of improvisation, which is why I think I'm drawn to making music as opposed to just playing it."
Julian Brooks on copyright and computers
"I truly believe composers play along like fixed odds machine gamblers..."
Eleanor on collaboration and livestreaming
" I think what is true at the moment is my preference to make things that are beyond me, things that are realised away from my direct involvement - wishes that may become true, words that may be interpreted one way or another, descriptions of experiences that become sounds."
Donghoon Shin on Pink Floyd and Mahler
"I am very interested in creating a labyrinth and in combining different materials together..."
Matt Kaner on New Music and DIY
"The thing is that new music can be and mean all sorts of things, and shouldn't be thought of as ‘specialist’ in general..."
Michal Libera on composing and curating as a sociologist
"Somebody once told me an artist is the one who never stops. It's not easy obviously. But it has never been easy. "
Robert Piotrowicz on hardcore punk and intermediality
"What brings me back to that period of my artistic career is a kind of transgresive approach to intensity, which I try to generate in my present work"
