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

One day I decided I would like to put a record into my system. So I picked up a record that was lying on the table, and put it on. I didn't bother to look at what it was because I didn't care, and it turned out to be Madame Butterfly. So I processed the aria from Madame Butterfly in my system and I played with it.

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

The sound that I play is delayed, it's modified, and it's modulated. It's an intelligent system; it's happening now.

It's going to take about a year or two for the transfer to be completed. We have a certification program so professionals can teach deep listening.

I'm very interested in vertical space.I want the players to listen to their sound in such a way that they hear the complete sound they make before they make another one. So that means that they hear the tail of the sound. Because of the reverberation, there's always more to the sound than just the sound.

I thought that it would be interesting to have a mirror and grab a light and shine it around in different ways. It's an analog to the acoustic reflections that we're going to be trying to activate as well.
