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

In the '60s my friends were interested and we were hearing electronic music coming in on community radio from Europe, so that's where it started. And I had a tape recorder and started making things with it.

When I composed the first sonic meditation, I realized that I was composing the direction of attention.

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

I used to go into the studio around midnight and stay all night.

The sound that I play is delayed, it's modified, and it's modulated. It's an intelligent system; it's happening now.

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