Linda Dusman: Leading a Creative Life

"I always feel like whatever I'm working on is in response to where I am at the time," Dusman explains, citing not only her concert music, but also her installation work and electroacoustic music. "I'm not trying to write music that's an escape from anything. I'm really trying to write music that's a reflection on the contemporary moment."
It's also a perspective that follows her beyond her compositions. "My goal has been to lead a creative life," Dusman says. Even though the nuts and bolts work of being "a mom, a department chair, a professor, even a composer" can wear a person down, she suggest that "really, if you approach everything as a creative project, it gives you juice."
