“I think about that "empty" space a lot. That emptiness is what allows for something to actually evolve in a natural way. I've had to learn that over the years - because one of the traps of being an artist is to always want to be creating, always wanting to produce.” ThinkingWayWantYearsArtistNaturalSpaceProduceCreatingEmptyEvolveEmptinessTrapsBeing An ArtistEmpty Space Author:Meredith Monk

“A lot of it starts with playing instruments and working with other people. Some of the new generation is doing it on computers and they don't have a clue as to how to play anything. That's probably one of the problems. They don't know how to make the melody, go through the chord changes.

The studio is in the basement, but we decided to set everything up in the old parlor and dining-room area so we can look at each other and (at) the sunshine coming through the stained-glass windows.

“This (environmental treaty) process has nothing to do with the weather. It has nothing to do with man's impact on the weather.
