My music is non-standard because I don't prioritize melodies; instead, I focus on harmony, tension, and other aspects that support the melody.

To avoid clichés in my music, I use anti-romantic techniques to clean out the harmony and prevent banality.

In my music, I avoid standard major and minor tonalities, often using poly-modal harmonies instead.

I personally love new music, even if it's not for everyone, as many composers are often ahead of their time.

I think it's essential to focus on the emotional impact of music rather than just technical perfection, as true artistry comes from conveying feelings.

Rhythm is not important in my piece, and I often focus on the flow rather than strict rhythmic structures.

It's essential to balance respect for the score with the need to make the music sound beautiful, as the composer may prioritize emotional expression over strict adherence to the written notes.

I dislike the idea of a definitive performance; every musician brings their own interpretation, which is valuable.

After applying various expressive techniques, I find that the melody line becomes more communicative and effectively conveys emotion.
