How often do you communicate and check in with the artist/customer? 26:39 Have you ever had any projects go way off-track from the initial idea? 30:12. How do you find a balance between what the artist wants and what the general customers will purchase? How do you learn how to say ‘no’? 32:45 How long does it take to take a project from start to finish? 36:04 For those interested in creating their own instruments or implements - building marimbas or making mallets, for example - what kind of financial expense should they consider it will take to embark on this kind of journey? 45:24 How many people are behind Infinity Percussion? 46:56 You also teach and perform extensively - which already amounts to a busy schedule. How much time does it take to run Infinity Percussion? 50:10 Describing sound qualities is a challenge, even for musicians - we mostly borrow terminology from other senses. How do you ensure that you have an understanding with the customer (artist or buyer) about the qualities they are looking for? 54:14 How do you record sound files to showcase mallets when a microphone by default distorts all sounds? 57:34 Bartok Sonata with Martin Grubinger, Yuja Wang, and the Percussive Planet 1:02:12 Near future plans
