In the end it doesn't matter what you do.

When I dealt with set theory, I could never make it be the music that I wanted.

I didn't have a record player.

You either are or you're not.

I'm not a music lover in the sense that I look for something to have on. I've never had that attitude to music.

I think music has gone through a period of something very severe, rather radical, rather the way painting did with cubism.

One thing I've tried to do in writing music is take on very basic things, very archetypal things.
