Ángeles’ description of composition as “brushing away your extra thoughts so something else can grow” really struck me — it’s such a tender and honest way to frame creativity. Not as self-expression, but as deep listening. Her metaphor of the composer as a host for something alive, something that needs a structure to exist — that’s a vision of art-making I’ll be carrying with me for a long time. This was more than an interview; it was a meditation. Thank you for this.

Anyone looking to zone out into a hypnotic flow state I recommend listening Dixon's Violin, who came to my home town, Sarasota, Florida, and gave a mesmerizing performance using all improve pedal looping and solo violin musical expression. It was truly beautiful.
