MDR – What would be your greatest misfortune?
AB- To live for something smaller than me.
MDR- And your greatest happiness?
To annihilate the spirit of security for the spirit of adventure.
MDR — and your adventure today?
AB —- the spirit of adventure is to break redundancy, for forms as for behaviors.
MDR- What you appreciate the most in yours friends?
AB —- their wandering power… that power that says the life within them refuses to be locked up.
MDR – Liberty darling? … at what price?
AB—You have to be able to play your skin to preserve your wandering power.
MDR – the military fact that you appreciate the most?
MDR- The military fact has a current resonance now-days.
AB- I wouldn’t know what else to say….
“History is always suspect because it is always the story of the victors”.
AB – John Cage, Morton Feldman, Ellen Fullman, Phil Niblock, Rioji Ikeda.
MDR- what would you like to be above all?
MDR —- A repetitive rhythm or?
The ticking of time passing. The death ?
AB — the tic tac is obviously death
The rhythm of a desert is more interesting.
