Quiet is the absence of sound. Silence is the presence of silence.

What is necessary is possible, what we want is expensive. What is unnecessary is unlikely.

Music is the cup which holds the wine of silence.

The spoken form is in fact a very restrained representation of what is possible in the musical language.

However, in modern conceptual frameworks there is a more sophisticated view. I would say that the act of music exists in several worlds simultaneously.

Then certainly for a musician timing becomes something that is immediately accessible as a concept, because it's a necessity in ones everyday performance.

To me, Bill's musical heart is in Earthworks, in the jazz they are playing, in the acoustic kit.
