I like duos with percussionists. I like the songs that percussionists sing.

Free improvisation, in addition to being a highly skilled musical craft, is open to use by almost anyone-beginners, children, and non-musicians. The skill and intellect required is whatever is available. Its accessibility to the performer is, in fact, something which appears to offend both its supporters and detractors....And as regards method, the improvisor employs the oldest in music-making...Mankind's first musical performance couldn't have been anything other than a free improvisation.

If you could only play a record once, imagine the intensity you’d have to bring into the listening.

I'm not much into current electronic stuff, what I think of as lounge electronics, mumbling electronics.

Personally, I've found one of the more stimulating ways of playing in recent times has been to kind of move outside the free improvised area and work with people who are probably improvisers but they have a particular way of working.

Solo concerts are murder, I find; I don't like doing them.

I have always been attracted to the cottage industry side of this business.
