Composers on Mathematical Music
Subtext 524932


. . . I dropped out [of college] after two years. Thinking I was going to be a writer, I told Mother and Dad I should travel to Europe and have experiences rather than continue in school. . . .

In Europe . . . I . . . began both painting and writing music . . . in Mallorca. The music I wrote was composed in some mathematical way I no longer recall. It didn’t seem like music to me so that when I left Mallorca I left it behind to lighten the weight of my baggage. . . .
