And so, for the last ten years I did nothing, and now I'm trying to do something, I'm trying to. But I don't know why, and again, I'm very omenic, and so I'm taking this interview omenically.2023, Kerry O'Brien, William Robin, On Minimalism: Documenting a Musical Movement, University of California Press, page 266:
