In his words, "It is important to ‘surprise’ the listeners when I play, when there is a dose of unexpectedness and anticipation in the ‘story of the music’, when the listener starts to sit upright, arresting focus to be led by the music, beyond the immediate senses…in such moments, the player, listener, notes and the space, become one. And my playing is privileged to will this exhilarating trance!"
