Q

Je prends un discours, quelqu’un qui parle. Et j’écoute la musique de leur voix. Je découvre les notes de chaque mot, de chaque syllabe, et je les joue au piano. Je les transforme en musique. Tout ce matériel musical était là. C’était comme une explosion.

A

I’m taking a speech, someone speaking. And I listen to the music of their voices. I discover the notes of each word, of each syllable, and I play them on the piano. I turn them into music. All that musical material was there. It was like an explosion.
