was it not art of noise who said, “how do you do and how do you play and how do you listen and what do you think and what happens next and is it really necessary and how’s the weather and.” was it not claude debussy who said, “there must be only pleasure.” was it not charles baudelaire who said, “beauty is infinity in the infinite.” was it not rakim who said, “make me aerodynamic in the evening air.”

“how often music engulfs me like the sea!” — charles baudelaire
