Al Neil (1924-2017)

"Right now I'm working with various instruments -- toy instruments and things I've torn out of children's carousels and so on and music boxes and the strings of the piano -- anything that will distort the sound of the tempered scale into something which is possibly unholy and possibly holy because everything gives out a sound, every molecular thing gives out a sound -- a plant cries, a vegetable cries, everything cries -- there's all these sounds -- we've proved that in this age of extended consciousness ... and I'm trying to get into these sounds which we don't hear but we know are there."
