Radio broadcasting was only 25 years old when I was born in 1932.

When I am composing, the sounds are leading me to the way I want them to organize.

I have a variety of ways that I make music, but I'm working with the Thingamajigs in a particular way, which is: They are bringing to me their performance skills and their unusual instruments, which I'm relishing. They're really beautiful. The other thing is improvisation - these players improvise and they do it very beautifully, as a matter of fact.

I feel that students always learn more from each other than they do from their professor. They learn by doing and not by trying to soak up information from one person.

After a long section of the glass playing, you'll hear an instrumental sound emerge from some undisclosed location. There'll be a lot of mystery about the sound, I think.

You invent things like algorithms to take care of some of the changes you want to make. The changes aren't detectable. There's all kinds of things happening as I play.

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