Music can be transformative, utterly transformative. The act of music is utterly transformative.

There is a difference between being a timekeeper and keeping the pulse or being in step with the pulse in the band.

Performance is a vehicle for entering different worlds of experiencing.

Music can be transformative, utterly transformative. The act of music is utterly transformative.

Michael Giles the first drummer of King Crimson, never agreed to the name King Crimson. But then, if you'd knew Michael, you would know he didn't agree to the album cover either. So maybe Michael didn't agree to the point of definition with many things.

Music so wishes to be heard that it sometimes calls on unlikely characters to give it voice.

The only reward the musician receives is music: the privilege of standing in the presence of music when it leans over and takes us into its confidence. As it is for the audience. In this moment everything else is irrelevant and without power. For those in music, this is the moment when life becomes real.
