Daniel Humair said about one of my records “Sounds like Sunny Murray’s hanging a painting on the wall…” (Laughs) It did, in a way, because what I was creating was acoustically correct… I started to write acoustical charts, graphic scores, like Cage and those guys… I worked on those with Romulus Franceschini, who was a very great musician (he wrote arrangements for [Coltrane’s] “Africa Brass”, for Archie Shepp [“Things Have Got To Change”, “Attica Blues”]. I wrote my acoustical charts in relation to his Moog synthesizer, trying to find a set of symbols for my music that would correspond to his symbols.
