Haven’t we done this before? Theme and Variation as a musical form.

In a World…

The shape of practice, and the attention that makes it alive.

It is impossible not to smile.

What we lost when we stopped counting music among the sciences.

Making space for creativity involves attention to the nature of that space.

What is more valuable, the building or the built?

Engaging with the cagey Cage, without enraging. John Cage, not Nic Cage; A fantasia on Cage’s influence; and a koan on timely expression.

Robert Ashley, piano improvisation, and a burning question.

On proof, pitch, and the feel of what doesn't wobble.
