"When musicians are reading my music, they're just reading notes. But it's like I have a baby. Then all of a sudden, it's like people dressing up your baby in really weird clothing. There becomes a point where the band takes the piece and makes it their own. I separate from it, and the piece develops on its own. Then I develop a really nice relationship with the piece. Then I forget the whole process of "childbirth."
