06: In which neighborhood did you grow up? Can you describe it to us?
06: What was your parent's dream for you?
ek:not on the internet
06: Do you think that by being honest we help to better our lives?
ek:Sometimes – I think that honesty has the potential to also be a very cruel policy and can be very dangerous.
ek:I don’t really know if I’ve had a best visual or sonic experience – but watching large swarms of birds flying is something I find very striking.
06: In which neighborhood did you grow up? Can you describe it to us?
ek:I grew up in Brookline Massachusetts which is a town surrounded by Boston at all ends. My neighborhood was very quiet and was a short walk to Boston proper.
06: What was your father's profession?
ek:My dad sold Physical Therapy Equipment and medical supplies. He was a very serious musician – mostly guitar and was also an illustrator as well.
06: What was your parent's dream for you?
ek:I think my parents wanted me to be happy mainly – but, I was always encouraged to pursue music.
06: When did you write your first song?
ek:I think I was 11 when I first notated a piece of music. But, I remember singing songs when I was 3 or 4 and walking down the street and not understanding why every one of them lined up with the stomping of my feet.
06: What do you jeopardize by writing music?
ek: A lot of my time – I don’t think much else, I can’t really imagine not writing music.
06: How did you came to become an artist/musician?
ek:I grew up in a very artistic home. There was always music and creative stuff going on, so I don’t really think I ever came to music – it just was in my environment.
06: What puts you down?
ek:Cruelty, politics, financial matters, the state of global affairs, the way people treat each other.
06: Do you believe that art is done for others to experience or is it only for those who make it.
ek:I don’t think it is the same for everybody, but I think its safe to say that art is made for the ideas, and entertainment is made for people. I wouldn’t separate the audience from the creator but more make distinctions between the way the material functions.
06: What instruments did you learn to play? Define your music in relation to the word "instrumental".
ek:I learned to play drums and percussion, as well as guitar and piano. I would say my music is instrumental mostly, I’m not really interested in experimental instruments necessarily in my own work, which may seem like a contradiction, since I design installations. The reason I started building massive installations, is that at the scale that these installation are running, they turn from something instrumental into something more environmental.

06: What is your idea of happiness?
ek:I don’t really have an idea of happiness, it seems very individual to me.
06: Do you consider yourself a talented person?
ek:That’s an interesting question – People say that to me, but I feel like I’m constantly fighting against an instinct to do a bad job. I’m not really sure I know what talent is. In a sense it might simply be having an instinct about what works, what doesn't, and what to do next.
