An interview with Samuel Vriezen, by Purposeful Listening on Substack.
Tim Rutherford-Johnson (Purposeful Listening) finished his listening trip through the complete set of Fantasias in his latest Substack post. And to celebrate, it comes with a full-length interview he had with me, which was a great joy. We talked algorithms in music and poetry, the super-human expressivity of the computer, curiosity as form, intense reedy sounds, serial composition (except it’s in the sense of composing with cliffhangers), and more.
I greatly enjoyed talking to Tim, and am grateful for the time and thought he gave to my work. Hope you will enjoy reading it!
