In the studio you have pretty much carte blanche with whatever you're doing. You can turn natural instruments into electronic instruments.

The avant-garde makes more sense to me.

I'm writing a movie about Mozart going to New York in the '60s. I've been reading so many novels.

People sort of know me for that solo piano music I did.

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.

What I enjoy most about being on stage is that the natural instruments give you a greater freedom with texture. When you use natural instruments they have their own resonance.

I like what the future holds. I don't like thinking about the past.
