All the way from the first thing that I can remember, like our Victrola - a wind-up record player - and my grandfather's crystal radio, and my father's shortwave radio.

I feel that students always learn more from each other than they do from their professor. They learn by doing and not by trying to soak up information from one person.

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

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

The sound and just the fact that it was different from the piano, yet it still had some familiarity [made my fascinated with accordion].

Deep listening is experiencing heightened awareness or expanded awareness of sound and of silence, of quiet, and of sounding - making sounds.

I have a variety of ways that I make music, but I'm working with the Thingamajigs in a particular way, which is: They are bringing to me their performance skills and their unusual instruments, which I'm relishing. They're really beautiful. The other thing is improvisation - these players improvise and they do it very beautifully, as a matter of fact.
