I

am

passionately

committed

to

the discovery and practice of improvisation

as a medium of expression,  a

distinct reality,  of spontaneous

composition,  action emitting in

the mechanics of the moment,

interpreter of a world,  heart,  and mind.

Individual and free,  heard through the immense

possibilities of sound.

Because it is the impulse which is the real honesty,

and in which true expression can be found.
