“It will enable you to expand in your most unique potential. That seed of confidence can clearly inspire a lot of creativity… That’s the way I feel in my mind and that’s the way everybody should feel.

There’s no threat, and I think that’s necessary in order to go into the deeper realms of listening and responding. “There’s no reason to compete in his mind. It’s like having a great conversation with somebody. There’s vulnerability and opening that allows the space for each of us to contribute. “That delicate part of Black Star requires two people to be connected in a musically intimate way. The way you play off each other near the end, bringing the dynamics right down, is incredibly light and delicate. I was thinking maybe this is just me thinking this because I’m involved and hear it as metal poetry… but it sounds like a lot of other people get it, too.” “When I listen back to that recording of Black Star, I marvel at how we’re playing off each other and every sentence is spoken together.
