I started getting interested in the notes that I could hear being generated when I hammered on while playing a classical guitar.

If you write songs you have an idea how they're going to sound.

I don't know if I'm striving for anything that I can put into words.

I think that one of the things that influences me most as a composer is to what extent I can deconstruct and reconstruct the material that I'm working with.

We play melodic music, we play songs, we play all kinds of things and when you improvise you don't just shut out different languages, you use all the languages that you have.

As an improviser I'm now pretty comfortable with trios, so I'm thinking of working up to quartets.

I write with a mouse, because it has no psychological associations or memories or habits associated with it.
