> hi dr. richard- no, as i said in my 1st post, i
played the 'cello briefly as my first instrument, in
grade school. there was a darkness to it's sound and
that i respected but didn't find endearing. i wanted
more notes, more clusters, more volume- more!! i
started studying classical piano after that, then jazz
and rock in high school, then adopted carla bley as my
spiritual guru-mom. i love the way she writes, and
while i don't write like that, i really admire it,
also cecil taylor, whose playing is like a strong wind
to me. now i try to weave electronic stuff into my
keyboard pieces, and work in samples as rhythms, also
vocal samples like breaths, spoken word, sighs, hums,
all processed in my gear. what do you do?
