Some people say my work is about feelings that run smack into realities of economics, politics, and power. You build a foundation with questions—How do I express the conflicted feelings I have right now? How do I find the language? What has been done? What could be done? Who will the collaborators be? How are we going to crack open another way of doing it? How do we move? What will the environment and music be? Who is this for?—and then show diligence and bravery every day in the studio. There are a lot of people who think, “We know what Bill does.” How do you get them to think again?
