In serial music, the series itself is seldom audible... What I'm interested in is a compositional process and a sounding music that are one in the same thing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What I'm after is a composed music that will sound like improvised music when improvisors play it. You shouldn't be able to tell what parts are being improvised and what parts were written out beforehand; it should sound like the same music.
I come from a background of experimental music which mingled real sounds together with musical sounds.
Music is organized sound.
I'm not interested in having an orchestra sound like itself. I want it to sound like the composer.
Anything can become a musical sound. The wind on telegraph wires is a great sound; get it into your machine and play it and it becomes interesting.
From a strictly articulatory point of view there is no succession of sounds.
In a broader sense, the rhythms of nature, large and small - the sounds of wind and water, the sounds of birds and insects - must inevitably find their analogues in music.
Out of doing all that experimentation with sound I decided I wanted to do it with live musicians. To take repetition, take music fragments and make it live. Musicians would be able to play it and create this kind of abstract fabric of sound.
The narrative of serial art works more like music than like literature.
I'm interested in a lot of different sounds and types of music.
