[if gravity binds, other forces must surely repel]

"I felt free. Perhaps overwhelmed by an excess of compositional possibilities. I am suddenly reminded of the Russian Suprematists, but such a comparison does not seem appropriate here: do I set off from the conceptualization of a negative space that, in this case, I actually choose to fill? (First, is the distinction between negative space and positive space valid at all?)

Minimalist constructions: harmonic foundations reduced to three closely related chords that engulf a timid melodic surface; formal expansion bounded by the ubiquitous mechanism of strict repetition; timbre and dynamics, intertwined, the ultimate propellers of the musical discourse. I pay homage to all this, albeit from my own domain. For perhaps I do not know how to do it from any other." [Fibbbi]
