„Paying attention to how the music works on the body. And paying attention to how time is inhabited. Where is the Joy, where are the moments of sadness? it’s about really caring about feelings, you know, and often as musicians, we we find ourselves caring about other things like accuracy, for example, you know, which is not a feeling. It’s not a feeling, and it doesn’t elicit a feeling in anybody else. That’s just this kind of like demon who lives inside of us, who tells us we’re not good enough, you know.“
(Vijay Iyer, speaking about the making of their latest album „Uneasy“ that, with a kind of „power trio at work“, no doubt, cares about emotions)
