I used to go into the studio around midnight and stay all night.

That's software in the States that I helped to develop. It enables people with disabilities to improvise.

I think that this performance with the Thingamajigs is going to be an exploration of the acoustic space and particularly the vertical space, which we don't think about so much.

I got very interested in attention and awareness and how to achieve certain states through understanding this.

When I am composing, the sounds are leading me to the way I want them to organize.

The mission [of institution] won't change. It will continue to be what it is: to spread the practice of deep listening and introduce it to people, to do workshops and retreats and certification programs and so on.

People's experiences are all different, and you don't know what the person experienced. They know, but you don't, so I think it's important to listen carefully to what a person has to say. And not to force them into any direction at all but simply to model what you've experienced, model it and also be what I call a Listening Presence. If you're really listening, then some of the barriers can dissolve or change.
