Chen reflects on the aspects of composing music. She explains how the analysis of listening as an experience - the idea of breaking down initial reactions and flashes of recognition, tracing out the paths of distraction and concentration - played a role for her as a composer. Though at first distrustful of her own automatic, seemingly standardized, reactions, she became interested in the particularities of passive listening. She concludes that like theory, composing is a kind of practicing at organizing the world, assembling connections, testing out models. Music allows people to reconfigure sounds and their associations, taking in the breadth of everyday life, drawing out unheard context and potential.
