The Purpose Of Music Is To Sober

The White Paintings Came First; My Silent Piece Came Later.

Our Intention Is To Affirm This Life, Not To Bring Order Out Of Chaos, Nor To Suggest Improvements In Creation, But Simply To Wake Up To The Very Life We're Living, Which Is So Excellent Once One Gets One's Mind And Desires Out Of Its Way And Lets It Act Of It's Own Accord.

We Are Simple-minded Enough To Think That If We Were Saying Something We Would Use Words. We Are Rather Doing Something. The Meaning Of What We Do Is Determined By Each One Who Sees And Hears It.

The Material Of Music Is Sound And Silence. Integrating These Is Composing.

Some People Take Music Too Seriously, And Some Don't Take It Seriously Enough, Others Take It Just Right.
