Zitat des Tages von Du Yun:
I'm always going to use music, use culture as a tool to engage people to have this dialog, to enable others. That's very important.
I'm not a programmer; I'm more of a performer. I'm really bad at math.
Some of my contemporaries don't want to talk about the female problem because they feel like whenever they get a teaching position or an award, we are just being pinpointed, fitting into the model.
I'm a very textural composer. I care a lot about textures and gestures. Electronics add so much to that. It's like a flavor - it creates so much texture.
In pop music, people take a stand. When you look at a Beyonce or a Kendrick Lamar, they are going to tell you what they think. And audiences totally get it. They totally love it, and they are totally hungry for it. But in our conservatory training, I think it's a little lacking.
When you are known as this cutting-edge composer all the time... it's no longer cutting-edge.
When we look at human trafficking, we always think that it's far away from us.
