Hi, wondering what it was like for you when you played music with your girlfriend, specifically in the context of a duo that’s entirely improvising. There seems to be alot that can be parsed about such a dynamic! Cheers.

MY ANSWER:

A lot to be parsed for sure. It’s complex and difficult, for me anyway, to not untangle the personal with the art, but sometimes that’s what you have to do. That dynamic can also fuel good music so I don’t want to sound like it wasn’t mostly positive, which it was. But really, touring with someone you’re intimate with is not unlike any other tour where you’re sharing space with others 95% of the time. It’s always good to get some alone time.
