“It’s more important to realize the negative space, as music is only the division of space;

and is the space we are listening to divided as such, which gives us the information in comparison to something other, that gives us the idea of what the idea that wants to be transmitted, wants to be.”    Reggie Watts

Seek, above all, for a game worth playing. Such is the advise of the oracle to modern man.  Having found the game, play it with intensity, play as if your life and sanity depends on it.  Follow the example of the French existentialists and flourish a banner bearing the word “Engagement”.    Robert de Ropp


I'm not interested in a music that's about me or, that I can explain every component of.  I'm interested in controlling those components having to do with what I feel I can control, with out it getting in the way of the music.  I also want, that which happens when music happens, to happen.  I will make decisions with it as it happens but, it's not about me being the total energy that completes the process of the "ising" of the music.

99% of the game is half mental.    Yogi Berra


We live in a certain kind of world, but creative artists live a sort of double life, because several hours a day they are in another world that has (apparently, at least) nothing in common with the external world in which we really live.  I think that this ideal world is the world of our dreams, of our wishes, of our notion of ideal, and we spend quite a long time every day in this ideal world.  And our task, our role, our mission, is to make this ideal world available for those who are not accessed to it.    Witold Lutoslawski


If you come to a fork in the road, take it.    Yogi Berra


Affinity Insight - a natural attraction, a relationship to perceive the true nature.  A process of self-realization.  The thoughts and information that go out (postulation) from the player and back in (insight) to the player from the sound.    Anthony Braxton


Everything that is really great and inspiring

is created by the individual who can labor in freedom.    Albert Einstein
