 Another point I made was that black American music was a new language, and I don't feel this was ever really acknowledged. |
| Around 1967 I began backing away from dogmatic Leninism, not so much because I thought it was false, I just decided there was nothing utopian about it. |
| At the same time, I was listening to black music, and I began to think that the best musicians were receiving the worst treatment. The people who were doing the greatest work were despised as lower class, with no dignity accorded to what they did. |
| Basically, I viewed any work of art as an imposition of another person's taste, and saw the individual making this imposition as a kind of dictator. |
| I became very angry about the fact that I'd been talked into going to these Cage concerts when I was in college, that I'd sat and tried to make myself like that stuff and think in those terms. I felt I'd been brainwashed, that it was a kind of damage to my sensibilities. I'm still mad about this. |
| I began composing works which were imitative of the music I was being told about. I was also very interested in translating the music into visual terms. |
| I began demonstrating against serious culture. In hindsight, the actual course of events has been very humiliating for me, because no one picked up on the intellectual critique I made. |
| I began to concentrate on the issues of race and imperialism. As a political statement, the demonstrations were an absolute failure, nobody understood why I was holding them. I was told my activities were creating deep confusion about where I was coming from and why I was angry. |
| I converted myself to Marxism through reading. The Cuban revolution had just taken place, and there was a tremendous discussion going on about it. |
| I have a picture of an ideal consciousness. |
| I was a student at Harvard, and that's where I learned about so-called avant-garde music. Jackson Pollock, abstract expressionism and painting were well known at this time. |
| I was trying to be up with the latest thing. To a point, I just took what I was offered, logical positivism in philosophy. |
| I'm actually a great fan of lucidity. |
| I'm trying to assemble materials for a different mode of life. |
| In classical oil painting, there seemed to be a radical turn to seeing things as the camera sees them, with that technological modification. I began to have a tremendous problem with all of this. |
