​“To answer your questions; So there’s an alchemy to live performance, it’s fascinating.

It’s because there’s something I think holy about song. Is holy the right word?

I did a Neil Diamond song called “Be” it’s a phenomenal song, and it’s about prayer.

But there’s an alchemy to perspective through expression – so I’ll have a poem written in the depths, but  when you perform it, and you’re giving it to an audience, you’re careful for the audiences sake, you want to be honest for the audiences sake, but you also want to be able to inspire the audience, and actually yourself. It comes from above - so while I’m singing a song of a lyric that I have penned – I’m adjusting it as I’m singing it, as it’s being received, because while you’re being received, your desire to give is enhanced, and something happens; and the lyrics change from what you wrote in front of your eyes as it were. You sort of perceive them slightly ahead of the game and you look at it and go; I could change that and tweak this, and that’s a nicer thing to say, and that’s better, and that’s really clever, wow you can contextualize the whole song by taking the last lyric and making it upside down from the first lyric.

The song is kicked off with the inspired thought on one premise, and then in some ways the song writes itself. It doesn’t necessarily belong always to the one inspiration that it started with. Most amazing process! And that’s the answer to that question.”

 

It’s a freedom in the highest form of giving in the curated pieces of my own work, which gets turned round in performance and alchemized. And I do the same to the best of the world's artists that I also sometimes turn round!

 

Come once, one show, see the rig, see how it’s set up, see how refined it is, see the set, see how it runs, come and see it live. And how it’s designed also for constant improvement on all levels. The tiny equipment markers for speed of set up. Years of gaining understanding of what song goes well with what song, and all sorts of stuff.
