Want to be a composer? ... If you can think design, you can execute
design--it's only a bunch of air molecules, who's gonna check up on you?
Just follow these simple instructions:
1. Declare your intention to create a "composition."
2. Start a piece at some time.
3. Cause something to happen over a period of time (it doesn't matter what
happens in your "time hole"--we have critics to tell us whether it's any
good or not, so we won't worry about that part).
4. End the piece at some time (or keep it going, telling the audience it is
a "work in progress").
5. Get a part-time job so you can continue to do stuff like this.
-- Frank Zappa
