"Look, I just want to sit here, and I’d like to turn this machine on, and whenever it does something good, I want to record it at that point." --Raymond Scott

“You hear one note of a Bach sonata, and it hangs there, glittering,
pulsating, for an endless length of time, while you slowly orbit around

notes, observing the harmony and the discords, and reflecting on the
history of music.” Tim Leary.
