Intégrales, my podcast, is “a dialogue in music’s living intersections.” It’s produced in my Berlin apartment, and finds meaningful context in daily urban life for the music I love. The theme music is Edgard Varèse’s piece of the same title, played live by the International Contemporary Ensemble as I was sitting at the back of the stage for California’s Ojai Festival, getting ready to perform the composer’s Ionisation. Each episode, featuring my playing, takes a slightly different format.

Episode One…Claude Debussy’s piano etudes, Japanese maple trees, violet peonies, and a little amphitheater for the philanthropist Alfred Tredway White.

 Episode Two…harmoniums new and old, aural hallucinations, All India Radio, and improvising with Pauline Oliveros.

Episode Three…Charles Ives, the life insurance business, “interference ostinatos,” and multi-dimensional listening.

Episode Four…Robert Schumann, contemporary Berlin, Romantic abstractions, friends and superheroes.
