Brian Ferneyhough Quotes

By reason of weird translation, many such sets of instructions read like poems anyhow Picture Quote #1

If nothing is at risk, nothing is established Picture Quote #1

In my model, important interference phenomena arise when individual strata come into contact. These chaotic fluctuations are, I suppose, what my music is really about Picture Quote #1

Why, in such a case, should the performer essay any sort of considered approach at all? Picture Quote #1

My own position is, that it is largely up to the work itself to suggest the nature of these referential points without dimensions in and through the processes by which the distance between them is maintained Picture Quote #1

I am certainly not arguing for the de facto autonomy of the individual work, even though there is much to be said for making the attempt to see it in that light as one facet of the reception process Picture Quote #1

I don’t like listening to my music, not even new pieces. Generally, they sound pretty much like I expected them to sound, so it’s what I wanted, and that’s it Picture Quote #1

What makes a specific quality or quantity of innovation retain its intense newness over the years? Picture Quote #1

This was possible only by dint of extended periods of frequently quite painful reflection and digestion Picture Quote #1

There would seem to be a limit, even for an art preoccupied with boundaries and transgressions, beyond which a work reaches its breaking point and becomes an actual failure, a mere experimentation Picture Quote #1

Sometimes one can be so closely involved with things that the larger context is lost to view Picture Quote #1

Questioning the nature and implications of liminal instances necessarily involves failure, if only in the specifically technical sense of entering spaces where prevailing criteria of success scarcely apply Picture Quote #1

In any case, the fewer boundaries that exist hindering free movement between all forms of articulate human cognition, the better Picture Quote #1

If the work of art is to continue pursuing the vision of both being in and of the world but nevertheless in some fashion being more than just one more object to the mounting clutter, this is the specific point, I think, where this must be assured Picture Quote #1

I suppose that the scope and implications of such forces have rendered my personal accounting ritual pretty much obsolete. That’s how things sometimes go Picture Quote #1

As a necessary prerequisite to the creation of new forms of expression one might, I suppose, argue that current sensibilities respond uniquely to the notion of exhaustion as exhaustion, although that does de facto seem rather limiting Picture Quote #1

Actually, most things I say in public lead more or less directly to my own compositional practice, so I should be careful about generalizing lest they come back to haunt me Picture Quote #1
