About the Stolen Moments Suite composed By Kenny Hill:
Stolen Moments represents a comeback to composing music for my lifetime instrument, the classical guitar. While I have actively played for over 50 years and built guitars for almost as long, there remained a nagging instinct to compositionally explore the instrument in my own way. After procrastinating for so long, it came to me, if not now, when? The title refers to an interview I did with Santa Cruz legacy composer Lou Harrison. I asked how he manages his prolific output, and where does he find the time? His response was “Oh there's never time, I just write in stolen moments.” This has been helpful wisdom for me in getting deeper into composing. (Kenny Hill, 2020)
