We like to sit down at a piano together, hip to hip on the bench. He calls out chords for me to play on the left side of the keyboard and he takes the right side and makes the melodies come out of thin air. Our tempos aren’t always perfectly aligned, and sometimes my chords get too dark and forceful, but what we do works together. Who we are is this: the steady backdrop and the soaring over top. Sometimes we switch roles, but it’s always the same.
