My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason. Albert Camus...There is something suspicious about music, gentlemen. I insist that she is, by her nature, equivocal. I shall not be going too far in saying at once that she is politically suspect. Thomas Mann ..There once was a brainy baboon Who always breathed down a bassoon, For he said, "It appears That in billions of years I shall certainly hit on a tune." Ezra Pound
