In my model, important interference phenomena arise when individual strata come into contact. These chaotic fluctuations are, I suppose, what my music is really ‘about.’

The idea of ‘machine assemblage‘ is, especially, very alien to my sensibility, since it suggests a relative indifference of the strata to one another during the process of construction.

In several sections, both natural in the banks of the Mississippi and its numerous arms, and where artificial canals had been cut, I observed erect stumps of trees, with their roots attached, buried in strata at different heights, one over the other.
