People sort of know me for that solo piano music I did.
I like it here in New York. I like the idea of having to keep eyes in the back of your head all the time.
I want to get lean and mean, keep it minimalist.
In the studio you have pretty much carte blanche with whatever you're doing. You can turn natural instruments into electronic instruments.
That's what my life is, writing songs.
Even if you're improvising, the fact that beforehand you know certain things will work helps you make those improvisations successful. It really helps to have a certain amount of knowledge about musical structure.
