I have just begun a work in which an important part is given to a large chorus and with it I want to use several of your instruments - augmenting their range as in those I used for my Equatorial - especially in the high range.

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

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

There are two infinities: God and stupidity.

Contrary to general belief, an artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs.

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

Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes.
