Does (your) music need a secure/safe space? What can disturb (your) music?

War, environmental disasters or censorship disturb it. Any interest in music, no matter how selective, protects it. If, for example, nobody but myself was interested in my music, it would disappear.

What would you like to change about music / music-making?

I would like to work more outside of traditional Western performance practice or experience such projects. Not only in terms of the choice of venue, but also the codification of reception behavior. “Music” as a global entity is already changing fluidly and vibrantly all by itself.

Public funding or DIY?

In my life practice, the one is not opposed to the other as a fundamental decision. But neither of the two should be eliminated.
