Of course, there are many, many musicians whose music gives me pleasure, but until I make contact with them, musically or personally, I never assume that anything wonderful will happen.

I really don't have a shopping list of musicians. You can never tell who is going to spark off that chemistry, that magic.

Like all tools, modern technology has produced some wonderful moments in music and also some horrors.

It is music developing on its own terms. It's the 'music now' concept - what are musicians doing now as opposed to a string quartet playing Brahms. It's music that's delicate and justifies presentation in a special format. That's why we wanted a creative space to justify it.

Since music has never had a Rembrandt, we have remained nothing more than musicians.

If musicians don't do any music, then there isn't any music. Musicians are very tricky and can be quite elusive.
