I'm fascinated with the electronic devices that we can mess around with.

Now, the instrumentation in the jazz band and the jazz dance band has gone through many evolutions. For instance, in the 'twenties the tradition was two or three saxophones

So I played alto for quite a while until I saved up the money for the baritone

The Russian composers, especially, tricked the symphony orchestra into the kind of dynamic, rhythmic thing

This life of being a transient human being has gotten to a point when it's very hard to bear

People talk about innovations and evolutions and that kind of thing; I don't understand about that nonsense. It's like, all instruments are there to use all the time

The first reason for starting to do the symphony concerts was to play this new piece of mine.
