https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions.html | in Nolan brewers podcast you said how its important not to think about scales when improvising like how you wouldnt think about letters when speaking and i thought that was a fascinating point, but then i wondered how you would ever improvise if you had no idea about what sets of notes youre going to use, like if the band is playing autumn leaves in F# and you start playing in C theres gonna be a problem. Or maybe you would think of it as playing what sounds good, in which case you could play notes from the F lydian scale if you were playing in D minor, thats how i would think of it, so if you dont think about scales when improvising, what do you think about? | the song, how your day is going, how it feels to be in the room you're in, ..... how you're feeling about the rest of your life .... think about anything you want to think about. turns out you can actually express more through the music than you can by talking about it |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions.html | How does your music end up being so complex while also feeling easy to listen to? Like, to be fair I have built up a tolerance for more experimental music with a lot going on, but I feel like your music is so artfully made yet it doesn't feel like it takes any energy to be able to digest it. Quite the opposite. It has the feel-good energy of a pop song that you can just jam out to, while also being so unique and filled with so many details and elements you might find in jazz fusion or other genres. Maybe it's just how my brain works, but do you have any thoughts on this? Does it just have to do with your influences and your own taste, or is there something intentional about this balance? | holy canoli, |
