A lot of the so-called systems composers have this thing that the system is always right. You don't fiddle with it at all. Well, I don't think that.

I have lived in countries that were coming out of conflict: Ireland, South Africa, the Czech republic. People there are overflowing with energy.

What people call unemotional just doesnt have a single overriding emotion to it. The things that I like best are the ones that ambiguous on the emotional level.
Brian Eno
Image
All cultures have these feelings about non-functional areas of activity. And the more time people have on their hands, the more they commit it to those areas.

People do dismiss ambient music, don't they? They call it 'easy listening,' as if to suggest that it should be hard to listen to.

I'm always interested in something when it isn't familiar to me.

When people censor themselves they're just as likely to get rid of the good bits as the bad bits.
