"Music for Merce Cunningham I" composed in 2000 for double bass (bowed and plucked) and live-tape with pre-recorded seep, dropping water sounds, marker (felt tip pen) sounds, and (mirror reflex) camera release sounds. The piece represents a "sound track" of an imaginary dance choreography. I see the stage in clear, bright light. No dramatic turnarounds, no expressivity, no impatience, just sound, light, motion and independency.
"I feel no tradition. I feel great spaces. I feel my own time. I am disconnected. I belong to no mores - no party - no religion - no school of thought - no institution. I feel raw freedom and my own identity. I feel a belligerence to museums, critics, art historians, aesthetes and the so called cultural forces in a commercial order." — David Smith
