My partner sometimes liked to go into the studio and improvise voice things just for fun. when i returned from england i transcribed one of her melodies, and had some of the hospice participants sing it, because they said they liked to sing. their singing is very raw, but i'm going to use it for the final work.
I somehow sensed when i was a teenager that i wanted to do my own work. i was quite clear that i didn't want to be an interpretative kind of artist. i had an intuition about wanting to create my own form, in one way or another, whatever that would be.
My music is very, very precise. it's very rigorous. the forms are much more intricate than you would imagine.
Sometimes in the past when i was going to perform a piece again i would listen to old recordings and try to reproduce the material. this time i realized that carrying around old information, trying to get everything in, and still be in the moment just doesn't work.
Yes, the more i go through life i realize that there's really no separation between practice and art at all. the two things more and more become one rather than two different aspects of my life.
As artists, i think that one of the good qualities we have is that we're imaginative. we're resourceful. we like challenges.
When you start worrying about form, then you're not in the moment.
(there is) art that states the problems of society and wakes people up to make changes in their lives or in their communities,...art that offers an alternative, that demonstrates human behavior that can become a model for creativity, cooperation, freedom and playfulness, and...art that in itself provides glimpses of a larger consciousness or reflects upon the inexplicable.
I think about that "empty" space a lot. that emptiness is what allows for something to actually evolve in a natural way. i've had to learn that over the years - because one of the traps of being an artist is to always want to be creating, always wanting to produce.
I work in between the cracks, where the voice starts dancing, where the body starts singing, where theater becomes cinema.
Curiosity is a great antidote to fear.
That inner voice has both gentleness and clarity. so to get to authenticity, you really keep going down to the bone, to the honesty, and the inevitability of something.
