At the same time, I was listening to black music, and I began to think that the best musicians were receiving the worst treatment. The people who were doing the greatest work were despised as lower class, with no dignity accorded to what they did.

I'm actually a great fan of lucidity.

In classical oil painting, there seemed to be a radical turn to seeing things as the camera sees them, with that technological modification. I began to have a tremendous problem with all of this.

I was a student at Harvard, and that's where I learned about so-called avant-garde music. Jackson Pollock, abstract expressionism and painting were well known at this time.

I began composing works which were imitative of the music I was being told about. I was also very interested in translating the music into visual terms.

The purpose of concept art as a genre is to unbrainwash our mathematical and logical faculties.

When somebody says that all statements are false, the obvious problem is that as an assertion it's self-defeating.
