It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or acquisition of 'culture.'

Let no one imagine that in owning a recording he has the music. The very practice of music is a celebration that we own nothing.

I am trying to be unfamiliar with what I'm doing.

Each something is a celebration of the nothing that supports it.

Don't try to create and analyze at the same time. They're different processes.

There's no such thing as silence. Something is always happening that makes a sound.

As McLuhan says, everything happens at once.
