I think a double bass for me would be too much effort. But the cello, you're really engaged and the sound is kind of right here. So, it feels like being merged, married to an instrument.
I think it's maybe because Sergeant Pepper's came out when I was about 13 or 14 and that was a pretty impressionable age, and it was such a kind of radical period. But that period of the Beatles really had a big influence on me and I think are directly related to hyperinstruments.
I never liked opera growing up. I always liked chamber music or solo music even more than orchestral music.
All the music we know that's popular is actually commonly shared music that takes things that are similar about all of us.
I've done a lot of operas. I've probably done more different kind of operas than anybody.
