piece? Does it happen in the people who come and listen? Or is art in betw
een? . . . +++ I tend to think that art never really exists, but it happens when thes
e two things come together. Here is the composer/performance artist and there is the audience. There is a space between the composer and his thoughts, the composer and his instrumemtal improvisation, the composer and the written/painted score, the audience and the music played in the concertsituation. Everything that is in between is maybe what we call art. I think art is
about sharing, changing and preparing . All I can do is prepare; I just want to open up
a field of infinite possibilities."
