by David Van Alstyne, 1972 In resignation to the tribulation and suppressed indignation at dehumanization from creative mechanization and artistic regimentation - its infiltration, its self-perpetuation and its sensual deprivation; and on personal observation of audience frustration in seeking sublimation for feeling any sensation by means of low aspiration to a feigned appreciation and stuffy sophistication, my fearful anticipation of mindless continuation without aesthetic evaluation demands consideration: the performer's salvation, our moral obligation, our life's orientation and our soul's preservation, is to animate our cerebration with emotional inspiration for a unique manifestation of musical revelation: reasoned emancipation from stiff regulation by joyful affirmation of private inclination gives a public presentation of sonorous elevation where the composer's notation is mere indication for new integration of literal imitation and spontaneous co-creation.
