There's fatigue but also a deliberate desire to want to reach absolute perfection at every concert.

We always have a basic structure for a piece of music, but we encourage the musicians to elaborate on whatever they feel at that particular moment. There's a definite conversation happening on stage. I think it is very important for us as creative musicians, to instantaneously describe any energy that is visible at that time.

I suppose musicians have the kind of arrogant attitude that they can actually offer the world something, because through their passive power, they're able to be the strongest arms that they can be, incredibly strong. That's what keeps us going.

The words are in my own internal language, and mean more than I could ever explain.

There's fatigue but also a deliberate desire to want to reach absolute perfection at every concert.

Silence is so important when you're working, You must have periods where you don't hear anything, just to reflect on you've already done. Otherwise you traumatize your relationship with the piece that you're working on.

A true collaboration is trickier than a marriage because you can't hide.
