> Given my views on art, why do I bother with music at all?  The reasons cannot be separated from the reasons for my commitment to ethnic music, for if the possibilities of music were limited to academic and modernist tone-play, then I would have abandoned music after my February 1961 concerts in New York.  It has become clear that the foremost consideration in my musical activity is my own satisfaction:  to assert my dignity, to elevate my morale.  (Hillbilly music began as the self-entertainment of isolated farmers.)  Here I refer to my practice of music, but equally to my continuing appreciation of figures who preceded me.  [Cf. my tribute to Pandit Pran Nath, completed 2002.]  The utopia in human relationships to which my philosophy is directed is unattainable in the foreseeable future.  Activities are worthy, then, whose contribution is to keep the dream alive.  To ennoble the cultural media of a non-privileged, autochthonous community is a way of ennobling the community itself.  As for sound art specifically, it physically inundates you while unfolding in time; it is visceral and kinesthetic; it bypasses verbal concept-recognition and belief-systems.
