This music is a celebration of spaciousness – it’s a prayer and because I make this music in one session (about 5 to 6 hours). It’s a devotional exercise on my part, to compose for one mind live.
Quite often, I wake in the morning before a composition and I have a sequence, a sound, sometimes a melody, or at least an idea. Usually, it is accompanied by an intellectual understanding as to what it is I’m making and this is also attached to a combination of emotional nuances. These emotions are not mine. They are coming from the music I’m hearing. It’s these nuances which determine the instruments I use and the tempo of the piece.
