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.

I didn't have any sophisticated equipment at all. The equipment we had in the studio at the time was not intended to make music; it was for testing purposes. So we had to repurpose all the equipment to make music. That made me try a lot of different things.

A mouse and a keyboard is not a good performance instrument.

I would play a long tone on my accordion, or I'd sing one, and I would note how it felt - what it did with my mental space. These were meditations that I did.

Radio broadcasting was only 25 years old when I was born in 1932.

[My interest in music] is from my mother and my grandmother, who were pianists, and they taught.

I think the worst thing is stereotyping.
