“I’m not trying to re-create anything, especially not early music, but I am also attached to the fact that human anatomy and the mechanics of violins and recorders haven’t changed in over a thousand years, so we are inherently connected to the physical feelings and patterns that musicians would have experienced throughout the last millennium.”
“I think I had an epiphany at the beginning of my solo work, I suddenly realised that all of the music I had ever played, all of the scores I had read, all the hours of practicing & performing meant that I must have something to say, I must be able to create something which is entirely made up of my experiences. That’s when I began improvising. Everything visual and aural shapes you, and the
work you produce.”
“Asking myself how many ways I can say the same thing in a different way, just the fact that I can play simple a phrase or motif in so many different ways is what I find endlessly inspiring.”
