Music That Is Born Complex

Most People Use Music As A Couch; They Want To Be Pillowed On It, Relaxed And Consoled For The Stress Of Daily Living. But Serious Music Was Never Meant To Be Soporific.

You Compose Because You Want To Somehow Summarize In Some Permanent Form Your Most Basic Feelings About Being Alive, To Set Down Some Sort Of Permanent Statement About The Way It Feels To Live Now, Today.

So Long As The Human Spirit Thrives On This Planet, Music In Some Living Form Will Accompany And Sustain It And Give It Expressive Meaning.

A Melody Is Not Merely Something You Can Hum.

The Main Thing Is To Be Satisfied With Your Work Yourself. It's Useless To Have An Audience Happy If You Are Not Happy.
