To love in an age of empiricism is to be, above all, an 'experimenter.' To be always embracing new hypotheses, without ever questioning the evidence of the senses - this is why we need to endure the whip when we think we only want to try it. ↗

Music is really all about experimentation and lots of trial and error. It's just mind-numbingly boring until you hit on something that works well. ↗
