A man is culpable in the eyes of society when he escapes from the jurisdiction of its mediocrity.

I was not influenced by composers as much as by natural objects and physical phenomena.

Music is organized sound.

I rather like a certain clumsiness in a work of art.

There is an idea, the basis of an internal structure, expanded and split into different shapes or groups of sound constantly changing in shape, direction, and speed, attracted and repulsed by various forces.

Music is the most abstract of the arts and also the most physical....music is under two signs, the stars and the wine
