It's kind of fitting
that you lived here.

00:03.103 --> 00:05.071 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Yeah.

00:05.071 --> 00:06.973 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
I mean, I lived all over New
York, but when I moved here is
when I was really

00:08.742 --> 00:10.143 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
becoming a composer,
not just a performer.

00:12.012 --> 00:14.981 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I really started defining my
voice here in this neighborhood.

00:15.849 --> 00:17.650 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
That's where I wrote

00:17.650 --> 00:21.454 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
my first kind of composition,
and that was "Aka." That's an
early piece.

00:21.454 --> 00:22.922 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Very early.

00:22.922 --> 00:26.126 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
So is "Aka" a piece that
you still play today?

00:26.126 --> 00:28.294 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Yes. It's I think every time I
play it, it's a different
instrumentation.

00:30.030 --> 00:31.164 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Anything from a solo
to full orchestra.

00:31.898 --> 00:33.199 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
All right.

00:33.199 --> 00:34.401 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
We're going to hear
that one today.

00:34.401 --> 00:37.237 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Oh, yes. We'll hear
the trio version.

00:37.237 --> 00:38.972 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Ken Asalta is going to play
drums and Linda Oh on bass.

I was starting to get a picture
of Andy's creative process

01:04.064 --> 01:07.000 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
using bits of jazz, classical
and alternative music as his
inspiration.
