Even though music is something I travel around doing, it is also a very private thing. A sort of escapism.
Agnes ObelSometimes I feel like a melody doesn't have anything to do with me, but it's just something that comes, is accumulated from me playing on the piano, and then this little creature just appears.
Agnes ObelThe piano and the singing are two equal things to me - maybe not inseparable but very connected. You can say they are like two equal voices.
Agnes ObelThere was a band very early on in our class, and I played in that band and as a teenager, I continued. It was more from my own relationship with the instruments at this time, figuring out the instrument and then having to learn different pieces that I really got into music. I really discovered the almost transcending power of music. And I think that is why I am so into it.
