Interview: Composer Nico Muhly on his role in artistic collective LA Dance

“‘There’s something I particularly love about collaborating,’ Muhly says. ‘Composing alone is satisfying in a different way, but when you’re working with other people you’re getting constant feedback, which can really help the process.’ In fact, working with Björk earlier in his career (on her 2004 song ‘Oceania’) helped shape how Muhly operates now. ‘Björk’s such a singular artist. I just tried to give her the best ingredients that I could, then leave her to take them away and manipulate them. It’s a bit like handing over some cut-up veg, ready to go, then watch them make an amazing meal out of it all. I try to emulate that approach now when I work with people.’” Claire Sawers 22nd August 2013 https://edinburghfestival.list.co.uk/article/54282-interview-composer-nico-muhly-on-his-role-in-artistic-collective-la-dance/
