‘Music has the power to transcend boundaries. We can feel it when that happens in concerts, and that feels like success.’
Ilan Eshkeri, composer
I love the idea that there is no art without resistance from the medium, there are always boundaries to push against especially with a commission. The instrumentation, the style, the budget, the desires of the people you are working with, but all of these constraints force you into a place of creativity which you may never have thought of otherwise.
