Enter the Steve Lacy universe

“Kind of just playing with a bunch of different textures and things. I listen to a lot of music, and every week I listen to what comes out as well. And I think there are so many opportunities to play with so many of these different textures and approaches ... So I think that’s what inspires me, and that’s what keeps me excited to keep creating things, like mixing elements from things that I love.”

“I think my process has evolved in a way that is a little more thoughtful and a little more intentional. Like, I’m thinking about how to get the thought or the idea to be the most precise. Like, I know how I’m feeling, and I want you to feel that as much as I can possibly translate that to you. So, I think I’ve become very focused on translating my feelings clearly, and that wasn’t always my intention.”

What I love about collaboration is all the different perspectives ... the options to choose. I think sometimes when you’re working alone maybe there’s limited options. So, I think with collaboration comes more choices, more freedom, or at least more knowledge to know exactly what you want.
