It was around the end of the '60s, when I began to compose sonic meditations. Before that I was doing a lot of reflecting on myself, and listening to long tones.

Listening is not the same as hearing and hearing is not the same as listening

A mouse and a keyboard is not a good performance instrument.

I am also interested in music expanding consciousness. By expanding consciousness, I mean that old patterns can be replaced with new ones.

It might be fun to have audience members wander up the ramps as well, so they can listen from different vantage points.

My mother brought home the accordion in 1942. I was fascinated and wanted to learn to play it. Some of my music has a relationship to dance styles - The Well and the Gentle or The Wanderer for example.

All the way from the first thing that I can remember, like our Victrola - a wind-up record player - and my grandfather's crystal radio, and my father's shortwave radio.
