I listen to a lot of music that teenagers are listening to because I'm around them.

I've done a lot of operas. I've probably done more different kind of operas than anybody.

I never liked opera growing up. I always liked chamber music or solo music even more than orchestral music.

A piano is a machine, but you've got ivory and there's weight behind the keys and you have this really - you feel the resonance in the instrument, you feel the vibration in the pedal. I mean, these a still very crude.

There's many reason music exists and we are beginning to no only understand that, but measure that.

After a year, I thought gee I don't really need college anymore, which wasn't correct, but that's what I thought.

I think from age 13, 14, 15, I thought, yes, this rich studio produced music is the future, but it can't be the future to go run away into the recording studio. How can we take that kind of complexity and richness and make it possible for people to touch it and play it live. That's what hyperinstruments are.
