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.

I noticed you could monitor the recording that you're making, but you could also monitor the playback head. There's a little distance between them and so you get an echo, right? If you change the amplitude of, say, the playback and play with that, you get different qualities and different sounds. So I was very interested in that phenomenon.

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

I'm currently very impressed with the level of understanding and of interest in listening that I experience wherever I go. That motivates me to dig deeper into what I've been doing all of this time, to find new ways and also to get over the thought that it's not happening.

I felt a challenge to compose music. That's where my challenge was, for the most part.

I thought that it would be interesting to have a mirror and grab a light and shine it around in different ways. It's an analog to the acoustic reflections that we're going to be trying to activate as well.

I got very interested in attention and awareness and how to achieve certain states through understanding this.
