Bryce Dessner, originally from a classical background, now explores his roots through composing, blending influences from his indie rock career into classical music.
"Over the years, I've written quite a few solo instrumental pieces for myself, mostly on the classical guitar. And eventually I started writing for friends," Dessner explains, showcasing his transition from personal exploration to collaborative efforts.
Reminiscing about his classical days, Dessner states, "That was sort of in my language as I started to write for other people, string quartets, eventually orchestra and choir," highlighting his deep-seated musical foundations.
Dessner reflects on one of his compositions, saying, "It is definitely more rocking than anything I've ever done on an electric guitar," indicating his fusion of rock elements with classical compositions.
