Post interviews with composers/artists

I really like to watch/read interviews with composers (and other kinds of artists). I think it's interesting to see how they talk about their art and how they view their art. Also, it sometimes offers a glimpse into their compositional processes which can be helpful and inspiring for young composers. I'd like to post some videos with composers that were particularly inspiring and thought provoking for me, and hopefully you too. Not all of these are composers I listen to very much (this doesn't apply to the painter and writers), but I thought these videos themselves were interesting and very inspiring.

Muhly is such an eloquent speaker. I saw Smith in person a few months ago at a concert, cool guy.

Haha that's awesome. How was the show?
