Q: “Do you find yourself playing in a solo style when with the group, or is it a little too awkward figuring out your own chordal things and having a piano behind you also playing chordal music – is there a confliction? Do you play sort of ‘straighter’ when you’re playing with a group?”

A: “Not anymore actually. I mean, now, I am able to do these things just with the group, as well as I do them solo. I mean, the concept of playing actually is different, but using the material, using the voice and all this is about the same now. It wasn't when I started this and one of the reasons why I started playing solo is it was actually I could not do it with a group. But with these things, with voice, I do them, the multi-phonic, and it was one of the reasons to play solo. But now, I mean, this whole thing is just part of my musical expression.”
