Interview with Bill Campbell, drummer. Bill is a man of few words. He has been playing drums from age 11 and basically tries to simplify everything to the pulse, the vital pulse. Listen to him talking about his simple but sophisticated music.  

When I sat with Hilda, she told me that all her life, she has been trying to find some joy in making something that really feels like it's coming from inside of her. The form of that process has often been through the arts. I asked her: What do you feel when something comes from inside of you?

Scott is an award-winning jazz violinist. When I sat with him, he told me that, while playing music, he looks for happiness. 

"There is a balance that must be struck when one is an expert at something. There is the pressure to share your gifts at the whim of others, which requires the ability to bend to their demands. Then there is the need to express one’s own substance with the talent that has been honed."

When I sat with Juliana, she told me that she has always tried to give herself room to change and to progress into new spheres. Whether they are emotional, mental or physical. The idea is to be always more open to the world, inside and outside herself.

J'ai rencontré Théo dans son petit studio du downtown à New York. Je lui ai demandé si monter des images pour le cinéma n'était pas une forme de manipulation ? "C'est comme dans un train, on met le spectateur sur des rails, mais il a toujours la liberté de regarder autour." Ou de fermer les yeux.
