So what starts is ad hoc and you never know where it's going to lead, so it's important to keep an open mind about those things.

To speak about notation as the only way that you can guarantee structure of course is already very suspect.

I've been to the studio several times, and it's not that I'm not happy with what I've got, but each time I come away, I feel that I've learned something that I want to work on.

If I think about the way I was drawn into the music, it was much more by recordings than by live performances.

In my mind these two instruments speak to me in different ways, and the solo stuff seems to be easier to do on the soprano.

The argument we always used to use was that keeping records in the catalog was good for people that were coming new to the music, but I think that was talking over a ten year or fifteen year time span.

I think the voice does that perfectly adequately without being imitated by other instruments.
