‘It can be very irritating, being a composer,\u2019 laughs Errollyn Wallen. \u2018You\u2019re always trying to solve these ridiculous problems that you\u2019ve set yourself. And sometimes you just want a day off, but the music won\u2019t let you.\u2019 <\/p>

Be it going for a walk or doing the washing up, Wallen somehow always finds herself lost in composition. \u2018I\u2019m obsessed by music. I can\u2019t help it. So, I\u2019ll try doing something else but I find I\u2019m still thinking about whatever it is I\u2019m working on. I\u2019m an incredibly untidy person so at least washing up fulfils two functions: I feel good that I\u2019m actually tidying something, and I\u2019m also thinking.\u2019<\/p>
