WBGO: Composing Before Hearing With John Hollenbeck, on The Checkout
BY SIMON RENTNER
"Hollenbeck offers an inside gimpse of his composing process, and describes how your ears can betray you and lead you down a less original path. He shares original music inspired by three paintings from different periods by the artist Piet Mondrian, along with two other absorbing compositions that come from mysterious places, one from his dreams and another out of thin air."
