I particularly enjoy conceiving the inner structure of the whale singings. We -
listeners- create the structure. It sometimes matches the composer ´s original
structural conception, it sometimes not. Simplistic repetitive patterns are the
worst thing we can do for our imagination and creativity, for our freedom to
create, this is totalitary music. I remember reading in a magazine that the
chinese government was promoting (occidental) discos in Tibet. I perfectly
understand why.
