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

My writing has always been a rather non-linear process. I've found if I get something down, I can listen to it and other things start to come.

I'm very interested in vertical space.I want the players to listen to their sound in such a way that they hear the complete sound they make before they make another one. So that means that they hear the tail of the sound. Because of the reverberation, there's always more to the sound than just the sound.

Something that I did, and I developed out of that sonic meditations, which were pieces that I composed in the '70s that now are very well-known and used in many classrooms all over the world, but at the time were outrageous.

I think the worst thing is stereotyping.

I'll just say that I made my own explorations of tone by listening to a tone for a long time until I began to understand what my sensations were, what my mind was doing with tone.

[Improvisation ] is been with me all my life. We all do it.
