The music of John Cage wasn’t interesting to me but at the same time it was fantastic because I loved his mind and the concept of removing the individual. He took star maps, placed blank staff transparencies over them then had pianists perform it. How brilliant is that.

When my daughter was 2 and a half she liked to sit next to me and pounce and trounce the keys. Sometimes I start imitating her sometimes I try to be melodic against her and then it strikes me a record of improvisations with my daughter at the piano because brings funny elements of chance that’s enjoyable, as enjoyable as chance is.
