I came across this interview not long ago through a friend up mine in the Bay Area. With respect to how furniture music shaped the way I see and approach my art, a slight re-interpretation resulted.

It was back in 2001 when I introduced to his work through a play he wrote titled AN ALPHABET – performed on the UC Berkeley Campus Zellerbach Auditorium. Consequently I turned on to the work of Erik Satie and Marcel Duchamp who, in the early 20th century, coined the term “furniture music”.
