Hi Skinter,

The problem is that when I am writing a poem, that is what I would substitute for "music," and if I am painting, I would say all art aspires to be a painting. Might it not be that any form of art employs a kind of language, each with its own vocabulary and grammar? As to whose voice it finally is, I'll leave that to philosophy and theology. When I write a poem or a piece of music, I get the distinct feeling that it's my voice.
all best,
