Sitting on the floor, back to the piano soundboard at the new Whitney Museum, listening to Conlon Nancarrow's piano rolls being played. Multisensory utopia.

The whole 2019 Big Ears Festival

I loved Claire Chase's playing Steve Reich's flute piece tonight! It was beautiful to listen to!

Accompanying my mum to the opera aged 7. Don Giovanni. The moment the orchestra started playing I was in awe of the sound! Of course I fell asleep, it’s a long one, but the parts I heard where otherwordly and magical to me.

First time I heard Turangalila, at San Francisco Symphony.

Favorites are a bit of a constraint for me, but The Art Ensemble of Chicago's residency at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mi. in September of 1973 was a life changing musical experience for me.

Mon meilleur souvenir s'est déroulé à Nantes lors de la tournée de Meredith Monk pour Impermanence. Une claque!

Steve Shick performing a solo concert in Perth, Western Australia. It was the first time I realised what it could be like to lose yourself in music - both as an audience member and as a performer.

First time I ever saw jazz live, I couldn't believe that music could sound that way. Dave Holland Quintet, Ann Arbor, c. 2003. It changed my life forever.
