The piano and the singing are two equal things to me - maybe not inseparable but very connected. You can say they are like two equal voices.

Everything that has a spare piano is 'like Satie' and everything with strings is 'filmic,' Sometimes I get annoyed when they say my stuff sounds 'like Satie'. No, it doesn't. At least, I don't think so.

Sometimes I feel like a melody doesn't have anything to do with me, but it's just something that comes, is accumulated from me playing on the piano, and then this little creature just appears.

I'm very happy that I got introduced to music only as something you got pleasure from.

I used to get very nervous before a concert. It's okay when you are in a band. You can kind of disappear. But when it's just you... yes, that was difficult. I would not say it is easy now. But when you do it for a long time, you do learn to cope.

It's always difficult to know if a song needs more than piano, and I worry about my tendency to go in a sparse direction.
