This is the first dimension of a new art-form. New because it is a blend
of the East and West.
The art-forms of the past represent one particular country and one particular
people. But since America is the melting pot of many countries and many
peoples, the art-forms of the past are not suitable as basics for the development
of the true American music. America is a composite nation and only a composite
music can represent the real America. THIS IS THE MUSIC.
from Super-Sonic Jazz The Differences Sometimes in the amazing ignorance I hear things and see things I never knew I saw and heard before Sometimes in the ignorance I feel the meaning Invincible invisible wisdom, And I commune with intuitive instinct With the force that made life be And since it made life be It is greater than life And since it let extinction be It is greater than extinction. I commune with feelings more than prayer For there is nothing else to ask for That companionship is And it is superior to any other is. Sometimes in my amazing ignorance Others see me only as they care to see I am to them as they think According the standard I should not be And that is the difference between I and them Because I see them as they are to is And not the seeming isness of the was. The Endless Realm I have nothing Nothing! How really is I am.... Nothing is mine. How treasured rich am I I have the treasure of nothing.... Vast endless nothing That branches out into realm beyond realm. This and these are mine Together they are nothing. The idea of nothing The notion of nations Nation....notion I have the treasure of nothing All of it is mine. He who would build a magic world Must seek my exchange bar In order to partake of my endless Treasure from my endless realm of nothing. |
