Sara Mohr-Pietsch talks to George Benjamin in the kitchen at his home in West London. He explains why he chooses to keep his composing room at the top of the house private, how he spends time in silence on a futon in his workspace when starting on a composition, and why he uses coloured pens in his sketches.
