I regard the term "work of art" with misgivings and therefore gave my composition the name Wayfaring Sounds. Sounds are wayfaring, not only for me, not only in electronic studios. Everywhere, in theater, in poetry, in language and in music a powerful movement has started, scorning all categorization and mocking the conventional associative patterns. Everywhere sounds are on their way to take possession of articulation and of communication, augmenting them and trying to liberate them from outdated routines of misunderstanding.
