- Well, that was a nice try.
-
- What I wanted to say was that I sometimes use paper when I want to plot out the
- development of an idea over a longer period than I feel comfortable trying
- to improvise. I'm currently working on a piece that has pattern changes
- on three temporal levels. I don't feel that I can perform and compose
- something of this complexity simultaneously.
-
- Certainly paper is nice. However, it's just as ephemeral as magnetic media
- if it gets wet. (I speak from experience with a box of music that got
- soaked... fortunately it was all on disk already.)
