We tend to stick with formulas that work for us.

Can purposful discursivness, coupled with a pleasurable sheen on the surface, translate into a formula for creating music that people want to listen to more than once or twice?

Has anybody out there heard Anthony Hopkins’s music?

Going beyond knowledge is required to make great art.

Maybe universities should consider The Complete Idiot’s Guide^® To Music Composition in place of Straus’s Introduction to Post-Tonal Theory and Forte’s The Structure of Atonal Music. Seriously, do composers need to know that much set theory?

Working with severe limitations can be incredibly liberating.
