my music is always a wilderness http://www.alansondheim.org/willshall2.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/qingrain.mp4 This came to me when I was trying desperately to avoid insomnia, obviously an impossibility. The aesthetic truth of it seems clear - I don't work with fixed structures, but structures that may or may not reveal themselves at every turn. Walking and hiking move across paths, trails, falls, strata, loams, deep ecologies, biomes and microbiomes; my music moves in similar fashion, and on a number of occasions I've played on the path or trail, or, better, listened when I can. Playing an instrument like the guqin (the full name of the qin emphasizing its depth), I move among clouds and phenomena, chasms and pools, I'm inhabited. This isn't the music of harmony, melody, rhythm, but one within a continuum, a dwelling among, not trance but a movement of clarity.
