"I only need to record an empty tin can rolling about for a bit. I can work from this recording for hours and the sound is so transposed and unrecognisable that the tin can disappears. Indeed, from a box of matches can come melody, harmony, percussion...Sound material in itself has inexhaustible potential. This power makes you think of the atom and the reservoir of energy hidden in its particles, ready to burst out as soon as it is split."
