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

Program Notes: Stage Patter
What
a composer says about her or his music is often misdirection (intentional or not.) In this aspect,
composing can be thought of as a form of stage magic with a similar
arsenal of tricks (production, vanishing, transformation, restoration,
transposition, transportation, escape, levitation, penetration,
prediction.)
After two or three readings I find this post incomprehensible.
