program note

Begin what?
We have already begun.
You didn’t find better voices around?
I think voices tend to be distinct – actually.

We assume sometimes, I think in our engraved manners of
thinking that we have to sort of start somewhere and to get somewhere.
Now this idea never really appealed to me . . .
