You Must Have A Reason

Sound Is Ephemeral, Fleeting, But Some Sort Of A Physical Manifestation Can Help You Hold On To It Longer In Time. I'm Sure Of This; I've Always Thought The Sound That You Make Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg, Like The Person That You See Physically Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg As Well.

I Think The Purpose Of A Piece Of Music Is Significant When It Actually Lives In Somebody Else. A Composer Puts Down A Code, And A Performer Can Activate The Code In Somebody Else. Once It Lives In Somebody Else, It Can Live In Others As Well.

I Think Of A Piece Of Music As Something That Comes Alive When It Is Being Performed, And I Feel That My Role In The Transmission Of Music Is To Be Its Best Advocate At That Moment.

What Came Up At Age 49 Is I Realized That Of All The Things I'm Interested In, The Thing I'm Most Interested In Is Figuring Out What Makes People Tick, Why People Think The Way They Do, Why They Act The Way They Do. And I Realized That Music Is Such A Great Way To Investigate Why People Do What They Do.

I Learn Something Not Because I Have To, But Because I Really Want To. That's The Same View I Have For Performing. I'm Performing Because I Really Want To, Not Because I Have To Bring Bread Back Home.
