Everything You Do Is Music, And Everywhere

If Something Is Boring After Two Minutes, Try It For Four. If Still Boring, Then Eight. Then Sixteen. Then Thirty-two. Eventually One Discovers That It Is Not Boring At All.

When I Hear What We Call Music, It Seems To Me That Someone Is Talking. And Talking About His Feelings, Or About His Ideas Of Relationships. But When I Hear Traffic, The Sound Of Traffic - Here On Sixth Avenue, For Instance - I Don’t Have The Feeling That Anyone Is Talking. I Have The Feeling That Sound Is Acting. And I Love The Activity Of Sound... I Don’t Need Sound To Talk To Me.

What I'm Proposing, To Myself And Other People, Is What I Often Call The Tourist Attitude - That You Act As Though You've Never Been There Before. So That You're Not Supposed To Know Anything About It. If You Really Get Down To Brass Tacks, We Have Never Been Anywhere Before.

Ideas Are One Thing And What Happens Is Another.

Each Something Is A Celebration Of The Nothing That Supports It.
