Which sound is special for you?

There are multiple sounds that I feel close to or special to me so I’ll write a small list:

– The sound of walking on rocks in the mountains when there’s not much other sound around
– The sound of water dripping into a metal bowl
– The sound of someone breathing in during a hug
– The sound of a keyboard tapping next to me while I sleep
– My sung songs playlist
– Gilmore Girls

Which skill that you have learned by working with musicians helps you in everyday life?

Something that I really value from working with musicians is an attention to sound that turns the most everyday sounds into very beautiful ones. Since listening to my every day life with more intent, I find a lot of playfulness and appreciation in that.

If anything was possible, where would you like to perform some day?

I don’t have a particular stage or place in mind where I’d like to perform, but something I’d really like to do is to organise a small walking tour of garden and living room performances with my friends. Other than that I am really enjoying low pressure kind of stages at the moment in which there is space to try new things, mess up, do something stupid and potentially find something fun.
