Maryliz often says she was born from MUSIC, and that music is her first language.

"COMPOSING asks for the craft to be honed to the point of it being a language with which one is completely comfortable. It is like learning a second language. You know when the language is part of your very nature when you begin to dream in all its nuances.

I adhere to this basic principle, as well as the one that calls for a quality of internal listening that knows when a seed of an idea has been planted. Once that seed is embodied, it is simply a matter of giving it the right climate of attention. One cannot manipulate that seed in someone else but a mentor can inquire into the most natural and finest way to draw out its innate quality of expression through composition."
