Here are some great quotes from the episode:
“Sometimes the hardest step is the first note… I do everything I can to trick myself into making that first note as painless as it can be—no second thoughts.”

"If I were to define what the Creator sounds like—He is silence. Real power comes from silence.”

“I want somebody to reach behind the note and look at it from behind the note. That’s where the surprise lives.”

“The voice of creativity is playful, like a child whispering just above your head."“Synthesizers will do anything you tell them to. That’s the blessing and the danger. You must ask the right questions.”

“You’re not learning how to be a technician of music. You’re learning that the technique is built into this joyful moment of creation.”

“Music is received, not generated. Sometimes all I hear is, ‘Follow this.’ Or sometimes it’s, ‘Now… show me what you’ve got.’”

“There’s a ghost in space whispering, ‘Come closer, come closer… you’re getting it.’ That’s where the textures live.”

“Practice, even if it’s scales—because what you’re really practicing is presence, not perfection.”
