"The greatest enterprise of the mind has always been and always will be the attempted linkage of the sciences and humanities."

Edward O. Wilson

"Music is not a language. Any musical piece is akin to a boulder with complex forms, with striations and engraved designs atop and within, which [we] can decipher in a thousand different ways without ever finding the right answer or the best one."

Iannis Xenakis

Quotable

"Composing music may be the loneliest of artistic pursuits. It is a laborious traversal of an imaginary landscape. Emerging from the process is an art work in code, which other musicians must be persuaded to unravel."


Alex Ross
"Apparition in the Woods: Rescuing Sibelius from silence"
The New Yorker, July 9 & 16, 2007
