- Morton Feldman: The one that explains what I am really talking about is Kierkegaard. He doesn't like the artist, because the artist is changing all the time. He doesn't trust them. He doesn't like the ethical man too much. He is always moralizing. He likes the religious man, because the religious man has only one mood. And I believe that too. I believe when my work arrives at one mood, it's as if I am praying. Which is another remark of Kafka's: art as prayer. To get closer to that thing that one is praying to.
- Bálint András Varga: Again, one would have to define what you mean by prayer in this context.
- Feldman: Prayer is getting close to that which does not exist. It is very much what I feel when I work.
- Varga: To attempt the impossible, really.
- Feldman: To attempt the impossible by concentration. Rather than looking for it.

after techno, which shared DNA with disco and Information Theory. before a necessary return, a glimpse of what pure integration means, the idea of a pure music, pure in the sense that it has no subtexts, it is just what it is, crystalline, exhilarating and comforting. all are welcome at this party, it connects not to outward appearance. it is pure because it seeks to unify rather than differentiate and separate. in the same way that alchemists used to distill, combine, get rid of impurities, they did so in the hope of finding a reconciliation of opposites, and so find truth. 2 things. Do not seek divisions where there are none. Be sure the division you are looking for, is the one you find. So anyway, there are Papua New Guinea moments too, so convincing and truthful, like everything is a truth just discovered.
