ABSTRACT

Every being is the Buddha just as, for the anarchist, every being is a ruler. Now, my music liberates because I give people the chance to change their minds in the way I’ve changed mine. I don’t want to police them.—Michael John White (1982)

We need first of all a music in which not only are sounds just sounds but in which people are just people, not subject, that is, to laws established by any one of them, even if he is “the composer” or “the conductor.”
