A comment from Ted Hearn about watching him rework material over and over crystallized something Bhutani had been doing without fully naming it. A separate piece of advice from teacher Andrew May — that it's every person's right to gather evidence, form a hypothesis, and test it — reframed decision-making itself as a practice rather than a destination. The excerpt closes on a conviction both composers share: that no matter how abstract or apparently non-referential a piece is, it carries the life of the person who made it. The composer who claims otherwise, Bhutani suggests, probably hasn't looked hard enough.</p><p><br></p><p>Listen to music/Maker with Tyler Kline wherever you get podcasts, or at musicmakerpodcast.com.</p><p>Support Loose Leaf Transmissions on Patreon at patreon.com/LooseLeafTransmissions.</p><p>Follow us on Instagram: @loose.leaf.transmissions</p><p>micro/Maker is a production of Loose Leaf Transmissions: Made for All Ears.</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Loose Leaf Transmissions"}
