I lose myself at some point during almost every musical performance.

There's some point of struggle and super self-consciousness, but I always get lost at some point.

While I'm playing, there's a patten of struggling through something and then cracking through it by a weird combination of willpower and letting go.

That's the most enjoyable thing for me: "Uh-oh, he's gone!"
