“I imagine that as contemporary music goes on changing in the way that I'm changing it what will be done is to more and more completely liberate sounds from abstract ideas about them and more and more exactly to let them be physically uniquely themselves.

“Once in his life, a man ought to concentrate his mind upon the remembered earth, I believe.

He ought to imagine the creatures there and all the faintest motions of the wind.
