I imagined people at breakfast, people who know each other intimately, probably a husband and a wife, speaking in unfinished sentences, in grunts, in coughs, as people do, particularly at that time of day. And I wondered what it would be like to sit down at that kind of dialogue, in which sentences are rarely completed and thoughts are rarely followed up and one person is not really listening closely to another. That’s all I had. And that’s when I began writing - Don Delillo

The (F)Art
One listens to Coltrane playing live My Favourite Things in Belgium and that’s exactly what one wants. I can’t picture JC’s Quartet doing this in a conscious way. The execution happened as something else could have happened. The highest level of art is done with the left hand. There isn't a program. It’s just the air the comes and goes, the randomness of the fly. The cake is obtained when one plays by instinct. To reach the summit you must understand this is a useless game. The second you give yourself and atom of seriousness it all turns to shit. There is a Wizard of Oz on the next room looking at you through a police interrogation mirrored window
