There's still a lot I need to do as a player, as a musician, as a sound creator. I have commissioned 170 pieces: that's still not enough, there are still lots and lots of composers I would like to approach. When I see a composer and I see a performer, I think to combine those forces. ↗

The world has become one big grassy knoll, crawling with lone gunmen who think they're the Warren Commission. ↗
