The Western Musical Canon Came About Not

It Is Still True That It Is Easier To Compose A Poem In The Form Of A Manual For Adjusting A Vcr Than It Is To Write A Piece Using Just Tuning As A Symphony.

I Frequently Compose Out The Entire Metric Structure Of A Piece In Modified Cyclic Form, Where Each Cyclic Revolution Undergoes Some Form Of 'variation' Much As If Measure Lengths Were Concrete Musical 'material.'

I Dont See Lines Of Force As Being Destructive, Except To The Extent That They Are Exclusively Traceable Through Observance Of The Path Of Distorted Material Left In Their Wake.

When I Speak Of "cycles," I Am Referring To Lengthy Intervals Of Relative Homogeneity, If Not In The Resolving Of Problems, Than At Least With Respect To The Consistency Of Their Capacity To Productively Irritate.

Naturally Enough, I Couldn't Have Foreseen The Vast Sea Change Which Has Come Upon That Scene As A Result Of German Reunification And Associated Events.
