For about seven years. I really like it there. There are a lot of great musicians. The scene is very open. A lot of stuff going on. People's ears are really open, they are not closed. A lot of scenes here, people just get tunnel vision and are into one thing.

If you can make art with sound, can't you make music with objects?

I create work, and I devote myself to the creative process, and I try to stay pure in that process and be worthy of the messages that I receive. You can't sit down and write 300 compositions in a three-month period and think that you're doing it all by yourself.

I have not practiced saxophone since 1980. I mean, not one note. I do not pick it up in my house, and that's the end of it.

People sometimes have a very hard time accepting change.

I have no doubts. I know what gets in the way and I know what encourages me to do more work.

And I try to be as diplomatic as I can, but it always ends up being a psychodrama up there on stage.
