How to start
How to start:
I sit down at the piano keyboard. Some idea has hatched, or I heard some theme in some music that I want to explore.
I have heard a certain chord voicing by Ólafur Arnalds or Philip Glass and I want to make them my own. “If I had cellos playing like that, here’s what I would have them do.”
And on and on it goes. It’s the conversation.
I think how to start can be simply how to respond.
My very best,
Philip
