Toru Takemitsu had lots of good things to say about sound and music. =
Check out his book "Confronting Silence" published by Fallen Leaf Press, =
Berkeley. Wonderful interviews, essays and examples from his scores.
"First concentrate on the simple act of listening. Only then can you =
comprehend the aspirations of the sounds themselves."
- Toru Takemitsu
Mark Miller
I found this interesting and wanted to share it. I
found it moving. Takemitsu Toru, the great modern
composer (November Steps is one we might know) and
Tsurata Kinshi the biwa player:
"Tsuruta once said to Takemitsu, "I want to learn the
Western notation." Takemitsu replied, "That's the last
thing I want you to do. I will learn traditional Biwa
notation, and you do not have to know the Western
notation." Takemitsu also said, "Today, traditional
sense of sound is getting extinct, because of the
Western tuning and notation systems." According to
him, Tsuruta had a "pure" sense of Japanese sound, and
he wanted to keep it."
