Well, first I studied piano. I wasn't very satisfied because I though my teachers were dumb... and repressive.

I was born in Paris, and I haven't moved, except until now - I live in the suburbs and I hate it.

I have problems with machines which aren't gestural.

My sisters were going out with artists and poets, and eventually it was the creative world which attracted me.

Boulez seemed to me to be a guy who wrote laws. Like a company lawyer.

I probably went to musique concrete concerts - though not the very first ones - at the beginning of the 50s.

I think I came across Cecil Taylor a bit later, in 65 or 66. That really impressed me - Cecil Taylor is an amazing character... Both his music and the way he approaches the instrument are astonishing.
