Composer Conversations with Daniel VezzaDaniel Vezza talks to composers about their music and daily lives. Author: Daniel Vezza
Composer Conversations is an outlet where composers can discuss their experiences living and working in the contemporary music world, the effect it has on their approach to music making, and hopefully in the process break down some of the mythology about what a composer is. In short it is a weekly interview series that focuses on the politics and daily life of the international new music scene from the point of view of the people living in it, alongside the music that the featured composer has written. These long form conversations often drift into other regions of the composers life outside of aesthetics and are meant to be informal, accessible, personal in nature, and above all candid.

Richard is a composer and improviser who has collaborated with many leading performers in both areas, while developing works and ideas which increasingly leave behind the distinctions between them. His long-term collaborations include the electronic duo FURT which he formed with Paul Obermayer in 1986 (and its more recent octet version fORCH), composing for and performing with the ELISION contemporary music group since 1990, and regular appearances with the Evan Parker Electro-Acoustic Ensemble since 2003. He studied composition principally with Peter Wiegold, and currently teaches at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague. You can listen to more of his music at www.richardbarrettmusic.com.
