Composition takes so many aspects of thought all at once: style, harmony, melody and freedom of improvisation. It’s exhausting but satisfying. When I was composing, the first two attempts to write the Lost Suite seemed complete and I then tried to perform it. I was not satisfied. I took a break. I needed to pull away from it and went to visit Paris and Madrid. Spending time in these big cities somehow connected the dots for me regarding the contemporary world. I came back to Lost Suite and shaped it differently with a deeper exploration into the harmony and style.
