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

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 noticed you could monitor the recording that you're making, but you could also monitor the playback head. There's a little distance between them and so you get an echo, right? If you change the amplitude of, say, the playback and play with that, you get different qualities and different sounds. So I was very interested in that phenomenon.

I try to schedule the Intensives wherever I go.

Listening is not the same as hearing and hearing is not the same as listening

I am also interested in music expanding consciousness. By expanding consciousness, I mean that old patterns can be replaced with new ones.

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.
