When you make music you are acting as a philosopher. You can either do that consciously or you can do it unconsciously, but you're doing it.

Music is a means of rapid transportation.

Our business in living is to become fluent with the life we are living, and art can help this.

The highest purpose is to have no purpose at all. This puts one in accord with nature, in her manner of operation.

As far as consistency of thought goes, I prefer inconsistency.

We are involved in a life that passes understanding and our highest business is our daily life.

We are living in a period in which many people have changed their mind about what the use of music is or could be for them. Something that doesn't speak or talk like a human being, that doesn't know its definition in the dictionary or its theory in the schools, that expresses itself simply by the fact of its vibrations. People paying attention to vibratory activity, not in reaction to a fixed ideal performance, but each time attentively to how it happens to be this time, not necessarily two times the same. A music that transports the listener to the moment where he is.
