The Act Of Listening Is

When I Hear What We Call Music, It Seems To Me That Someone Is Talking. And Talking About His Feelings, Or About His Ideas Of Relationships. But When I Hear Traffic, The Sound Of Traffic - Here On Sixth Avenue, For Instance - I Don’t Have The Feeling That Anyone Is Talking. I Have The Feeling That Sound Is Acting. And I Love The Activity Of Sound... I Don’t Need Sound To Talk To Me.

My Favorite Piece [piece Of Music] Is The One We Hear All The Time If We Are Quiet.

Guy Nearing Told Us It's A Good Idea When Hunting Mushrooms To Have A Pleasant Goal, A Waterfall For Instance, And, Having Reached It, To Return Another Way. When, However, We're Obliged To Go And Come Back By The Same Path, Returning We Notice Mushrooms We Hadn't Noticed Going Out.

I Believe The Use Of Noise To Make Music Will Increase Until We Reach A Music Produced Through The Aid Of Electrical Instruments Which Will Make Available For Musical Purposes Any And All Sounds That Can Be Heard.

Try As We May To Make A Silence, We Cannot.
