this is a big subject, one I cannot take on explaining in 6pt type right
now, but in a nutshell: yes, I do not put any emotional meaning into my
work whatsoever...I don't act as if it were something natural that I am
fighting...it just isn't there...whatever emotion(s) you happen to
experience while listening to music is somehting YOU are bringing to the
experience...I intend for the listener to take part in the production of
meaning...whatever that may be...
