    Yep, he did :(

    Harry Partch.

    High Praise Indeed. Now all I hafta do is live up to it...

    "In the beginning was noise - raw sound,
the seed sound, the One, _Nada Brahma_,
the Big Bang. And noise begat rhythm. And
rhythm begat everything else. And thus the
Dance began. Rhythm and noise. There is ter-
ror in noise, and in that terror there is also
power." - adapted from writings by Mickey Hart

"I have the feeling that the English word 'noise' has
more negative connotations than our German word
'Gerausch'.  We would describe the sound of wind
blowing as Gerausch, to imply that it's a beautiful
and natural sound.  It's so stupid when people say
that instead of making beautiful sounds, I make
noise...I like these sounds and this has nothing to do
with 'anti-beauty'" - Helmut Lachenmann

    (Difference between noise and music semi-time all in you head)

    Sometimes the difference between noise and music is all in your head

NADA BRAHMA - Sanskrit, "sound [is the] Godhead"

LILA - Sanskrit, "divine play/sport/whimsy" - "the universe is what happens
when God wants to play" - "joyous exercise of spontaneity involved in the art
of creation"
