Ideas Are One Thing And What Happens

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.

Each Moment Presents What Happens.

After I Had Been Studying With Him For Two Years, Schoenberg Said, ‘in Order To Write Music, You Must Have A Feeling For Harmony.’ I Explained To Him That I Had No Feeling For Harmony. He Then Said That I Would Always Encounter An Obstacle, That It Would Be As Though I Came To A Wall Through Which I Could Not Pass. I Said, ‘in That Case I Will Devote My Life To Beating My Head Against That Wall.’

For Myself And My Own Experience Now, I Don't Really Need Any Music. I Have Enough To Listen To With Just The Sounds Of The Environment. I Listen To The Sounds Of 6th Avenue.

I Am Trying To Check My Habits Of Seeing, To Counter Them For The Sake Of Greater Freshness. I Am Trying To Be Unfamiliar With What I'm Doing.
