So, all my conversation, I can slap my babies, I don't see that more or less or more I like them, but I love them all. But one of the conversation always, I think I find myself of a plane that compositionally performed is one called a dream. It's about the desire that we have to touch our own truth. So I started when I was eight and a half, and in fact I didn't choose you, that I believe that the U would choose me somehow.
Ud for me, for example, when I, the first time I saw it, it's just something inside of me who was just moving to it, and I know how much I can talk to it. In fact, when my teacher gave me the Ud, I was sleeping with it all the time for five years, even I was just covering it, I didn't talk to him, I didn't kiss it all the time, and cover it with my plane kiss. I said, oh, goodnight, a kiss at a good night or something. For five years until my father actually said, well, he saw me, I'm covering my Ud, and he said, he's insane, so we need to do something around there. All my composition actually related to stories that I collect from around the world. Just because I came from a little dark environment back then, and it has a lot of stories, and
it has a lot of strategies, and in my time, at least. I'm trying really hard to make this instrument specifically the voice for people, specifically children and women, and I try to get their stories and make in composing music specifically for women issues, because they do not have voice. Because no choice to be a musician, you have no choice except to do that, except to do your art, like not be something else.
