"The wonderousness of the human mind is too great to be transferred into
music only by 7 or 12
elements of tone steps in one octave." - shakuhachi master Masayuki Koga

...improvisation is about change, about flux rather than stasis. ... you have
to be aware of the fact that improvisation is about a constant change. -
Steve Beresford

Mankind's first musical performance couldn't have been anything other
than a free improvisation. - Derek Bailey

What strange risk of hearing can bring sound to music - a hearing whose
obligation awakens a sensibility so new that it is forever a unique,
new-born, anti-death surprise, created now and now and now. .. a hearing
whose moment in time is always daybreak. - Lucia Dlugoszewski
