A displaced Californian composer writes about music made for the long while & the world around that music. ~ The avant-garde is flexibility of mind. — John Cage ~ ...composition is only a very small thing, taken as a part of music as a whole, and it really shouldn't be separated from music making in general. — Douglas Leedy ~ My God, what has sound got to do with music! — Charles Ives

More optimism
M. Keiser, of Music in a Suburban Scene writes:
"I have corrupted... the soft and moldable minds of fellow dorm-dwellers with my strange musics."
Which threw me into nostalgia, for Hallowe'en 1981, blasting LPs of Einstein on the Beach onto the dormitory quad at College Five, UC Santa Cruz. Prematurely air-conditioned supermarkets and all the other pleasures of a youth well-spent.
