That Inner Voice Has Both Gentleness And

I Somehow Sensed When I Was A Teenager That I Wanted To Do My Own Work. I Was Quite Clear That I Didn't Want To Be An Interpretative Kind Of Artist. I Had An Intuition About Wanting To Create My Own Form, In One Way Or Another, Whatever That Would Be.

My Music Is Very, Very Precise. It's Very Rigorous. The Forms Are Much More Intricate Than You Would Imagine.

(there Is) Art That States The Problems Of Society And Wakes People Up To Make Changes In Their Lives Or In Their Communities,...art That Offers An Alternative, That Demonstrates Human Behavior That Can Become A Model For Creativity, Cooperation, Freedom And Playfulness, And...art That In Itself Provides Glimpses Of A Larger Consciousness Or Reflects Upon The Inexplicable.

Sometimes In The Past When I Was Going To Perform A Piece Again I Would Listen To Old Recordings And Try To Reproduce The Material. This Time I Realized That Carrying Around Old Information, Trying To Get Everything In, And Still Be In The Moment Just Doesn't Work.

I Think About That "empty" Space A Lot. That Emptiness Is What Allows For Something To Actually Evolve In A Natural Way. I've Had To Learn That Over The Years - Because One Of The Traps Of Being An Artist Is To Always Want To Be Creating, Always Wanting To Produce.
