Improvisation enhances musicianship by opening up your ears and teaching you how your instrument functions, fundamentally changing how you play music.

Awareness is key to creativity. By being open-minded and exploring different musical notes and intervals, you can develop a deeper understanding of sound, which allows for more personal and meaningful ideas to emerge.

I find that collaborating with different musicians helps me think about instruments in new ways, especially since a significant portion of my music features guitar.

Musicians with strong improvisational skills have been able to create interesting results using our primitive sequence generation tools, turning it into a collaborative game rather than just a tool.

Recording myself forces me to make decisions and improves my performance by allowing me to critique my playing.

Artistry begins with exploring how far you can push your interpretation of a piece, rather than staying within a tight sphere of traditional interpretations.

Not all improvisations are successful, but I explore themes in various ways to find inspiration.

Focus on developing a repertoire for solo guitar while also playing with others to understand how different instruments practice and develop, which can change your mindset as a musician.

I use pieces to learn technique, but they also help in understanding music, allowing me to progress and play freely.
