For the Present

Conception, application, and expression of ideas yield outcomes.


The artist as composer of sounds hears, listens, contemplates, and creates in a continuum-- and as part of a cyclical process, the outcomes themselves, as products of original processes and individual articulations, again bring forth ideas.

It is one thing to seize upon ideas, yet another to subject them to the rigorous verification, through trial and hazard of failure, that is necessary for their development. But this is the way-- and the risk-- of the artist.
