I realized at that moment, the power of the simple idea.
David CopperfieldI had some highlight moments in the early '60s when I used to do a lot of rubbings. I used Afta; it's an amazing chemical.

Everybody thinks I am very sick, but the thing is, blood is better than any ink or paint.

Randall RobinsonWhen listening to the sound material, we metamorphose the inside into an outside. This notion of metamorphosis is one of the principles that leads the course of the musical suite, reflecting changes (fluidsolid passages: water/ice/fire) or movements (ebb/flow/wave, inspiration/expiration) or inside-outside passages (door/individual/crowd). Thus, the perceived object is not entirely what we would have liked it to be. Our music brings us closer to some while it takes us away from others: each with their own inside.
