In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Playing concerts with Darvish was always my top joy.

Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Herbie Hancock, Head Hunters John Coltrane, A Love Supreme London Symphony Orchestra, Valery Gergiev, Mahler: Symphonies Nos. 1-9 They helped refine my approach to music. Mahler teachers me orchestratation, Coltrane teaches me how to bust out of the box, Herbie Hancock teaches me about the silences of funk and jazz.
