Chick Corea: One thing I’ve been working out recently is the difference between my communication in performance and my communication on record.

The communication line in a performance is so simple. It goes from the stage to the audience and that’s it. But there’s a whole process the record goes through before it reaches the listener’s ear. There’s a great variety of situations that a person listens in nowadays – in a car, at home, very busy, relaxing.

I can take it into consideration when I’m creating the product.
