The composer who proposes artistic works of a different order than those in common currency must, like Blake, be prepared to create a system suitable for these productions.
Speculation must be engaged in concrete terms and proved, often over prolonged periods, with patience and painstaking diligence.
As to my perspective, the composer determines conditions, defines limits, engages possibility and opportunity, then manipulates, shapes, and releases sounds into what become the environments that tones and gestures themselves create.
