There are three different modes: playing piano, just me at the microphone, and me at my effects units. And I can mix those up in different ways.

If it's physical pain, you just deal with it the best way you can. But if it's more emotional, I don't know. I just try my best to feel it, take it in, and just allow myself to go through whatever may actually come from it. And then a certain amount of it, you can use to transform it through art, which is the healthy way of dealing with it, as well.

When I'm performing, I hope my research and my experience with those things I'm talking about rings true.

Ultimately I want to be able to create whatever I want whenever I want. And if that doesn't work, I don't mind just doing weird plays.

When you're improvising, you're relying on this connection to creativity.

I would always write lyrics and songs on the piano.

I like that feeling of discombobulation that comes in creating an absurd world that doesn't make sense.
