It’s all in the book promoted here. I guess he gives artists space and permission to be their best selves. Most of the time he seems to like removing things rather than adding. But most of all he talks about being the ”first listener” who is trying to figure out what is the essence of the piece and how to bring it out.

The book is so interesting that I actually paid full price at an airport.

Highly recommended. He even talks about things that never occurred to me, like how he tried to coach his artists into a flow by making sure they had everything from the start, like appropriate shoes!

Wish he’d been my mentor. Read it, if you are a creative, or a creative sympathizer!

It’s encouraging to at least hear that they don’t 4x the price of books in airport shops like they do with water, etc..
