The World Is No Longer A Romantic

Why Do You Not Do As I Do? Letting Go Of Your Thoughts As Though They Were The Cold Ashes Of A Long Dead Fire?

Some People Take Music Too Seriously, And Some Don't Take It Seriously Enough, Others Take It Just Right.

I Imagine That As Contemporary Music Goes On Changing In The Way That I'm Changing It What Will Be Done Is To More And More Completely Liberate Sounds From Abstract Ideas About Them And More And More Exactly To Let Them Be Physically Uniquely Themselves. This Means For Me: Knowing More And More Not What I Think A Sound Is But What It Actually Is In All Of Its Acoustical Details And Then Letting This Sound Exist, Itself, Changing In A Changing Sonorous Environment.

I Certainly Had No Feeling For Harmony, And Schoenberg Thought That That Would Make It Impossible For Me To Write Music. He Said, 'you'll Come To A Wall You Won't Be Able To Get Through.' So I Said, 'i'll Beat My Head Against That Wall.'

There Was A German Philosopher Who Is Very Well Known, His Name Was Immanuel Kant, And He Said There Are Two Things That Don’t Have To Mean Anything, One Is Music And The Other Is Laughter. Don’t Have To Mean Anything That Is, In Order To Give Us Deep Pleasure.
