What Came To Me As A Revelation

I Think I'm Really Part Of A Whole Generational Movement In A Way. I Think A Lot Of Other People Since And During This Time Have Gotten Interested In Writing What We Can Still Call Experimental Music. It's Not Commercial Music. And It's Really A Concert Music, But A Concert Music For Our Time. And Wanting To Find The Audience, Because We've Discovered The Audience Is Really There. Those Became Really Clear With Einstein On The Beach.

Traditions Are Imploding And Exploding Everywhere - Everything Is Coming Together, For Better Or Worse, And We Can No Longer Pretend Were All Living In Different Worlds Because Were On Different Continents.

I Always Knew What I Wanted To Do And I Did It.

The Generation Of Composers That Are Just Preceded Me, People Like [karlheinz] Stockhausen, [pierre] Boulez, And, Well, [john] Cage For That Matter,[morton] Feldman ... That Was A Kind Of Experimental Music That Was Very Isolated. It Had No Real Public.

It Doesn't Need To Be Imagined, It Needs To Be Written Down.
