We had the good fortune of connecting with Jill Haley and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Jill, what matters most to you?
In creating my music, authenticity matters the most to me. I place value on writing music that reflects the environment I am in, such as our National Parks. I want the listener to experience, in an aural sense, how that place sounded through music. I do not want to draw on other composers ideas, so I do not study them closely at all. The place or experience must give me the impetus for the musical expression.
