Being quiet and meditating on sound is something completely different and will be discovered very soon by a lot of people who feel that the visual world doesn't reach their soul anymore.

The September 11 attacks were the greatest work of art in the cosmos...compared to that, we composers are nothing

In particular what is most important to me is the transformation of a sound by slowing it down, sometimes extremely, so that the inner of sound becomes a conceivable rhythm.

Repetition is based on body rhythms, so we identify with the heartbeat, or with walking, or with breathing.

But since the middle of the century in particular, the music has become very irregular in rhythm.

One experiments and has to choose always the best results.

No, what is important is neither linearity or non-linearity, but the change, the degree of change from something that doesn't move to other events with different tempos in particular.
