Lyrics:
New music New listening Not an attempt to understand something That is said For if something were being said The sounds would be given the shapes of words Just an attention to the activity of sound New means change the method New means change the experience And new experiences change man Whenever we hear sounds we are changed We are no longer the same After hearing certain sounds And this is more the case When we hear organized sounds Sounds organized by another human being Music Our entire system of values Of the things we accept to be true Is based on the visual sounds You have to sign a paper because your word is not enough to be trusted As a result the acoustic faculty in human beings has declined As it has become possible to define a continuum between sounds and noises Completely new problems have come up when we compose or play intuitively Because we have no training what'soever in balancing tones and noises Traditionally in western music Noises have been taboo And there are precise reasons for this It has become from began from the time when staff notations were introduced Traditionally in western music Noises have been taboo And there are precise reasons for this It began from the time when staff notations were introduced And music could be noted in precise intervals for the first time Then it was mainly vocal music Some predominantly with vowels rather than consonants If I sing a melody of consonants now, people would say it isn't music We have no tradition of music composed in these sounds And no notation for it There you see how narrow our concept of music is From having excluded consonants the noises Of course you find consonants in vocals music But only in order to make a word comprehensible That's the function of a consonant in our daily language To clarify the meaning But in a musical sense Consonants have no function other than as accents S s or t or k To start or end sound clearly I respond to sounds directly Sound is my air Whenever I deal with sounds they organize themselves, so to speak They respond very well to me And I to them
