Sound as Mirror

As culture is reflected in the arts, so is consciousness.


Regard the contents and emotional conditioning of the mind in the context of social order and disorder.

Now listen-- give attention to the various surroundings in which one finds oneself.

The artist and composer have singular and personal visions that are not always congruent with the public imagination, and for this fact, given the perceptions and attitudes that dominate the ubiquitous media and the commercial marketplace, one might well be grateful.
