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.

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.

A kind of synthesis, but with some elements that perhaps you wouldn't have expected in advance. I always like that when that happens, when something comes that is more than the sum of the parts.

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

I think the whole question of meaning in music is difficult enough even if you hear me playing live right now in the same room! What I mean and what you take from it may be two quite different things anyway.

My roots are in my record player.

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.
