"The stepping away from traditional instruments - the unfolding of consciousness into electronic realms - is the disencumbering of spirit from matter. It is a stage of evolution towards complete freedom from object-density, wherein the human travels with only her voice, calling forth a mysterious orchestration with which to play and improvise at any moment, as she ventures into the novel and the etheric. In the future, our individual nature-as-multiplicity (self-orchestra) will be expressed in some form, of which electronic music is but a foreshadowing."
-John R. Helmsley, learned scholar on such matters.
