I am little concerned with beauty or perfection. I don't care for the great centuries. All I care about is life struggle intensity.

Certain kinds of speed flow intensity density of attacks density of interaction... Music that concentrates on those qualities is I think easier achieved by free improvisation between people sharing a common attitude a common language.

The excellency of every art is its intensity capable of making all disagreeable evaporate.

With fame there is a crosswire between intensity and intimacy. You have decoy intimacy but you are also very much alone.
