Great cataclysmic things can go by and neither the orchestra nor the conductor are under the delusion that whether they make this or that gesture is going to be the deciding factor in how it comes out.

I conceived of an instrument that would create sound without using any mechanical energy, like the conductor of an orchestra. The orchestra plays mechanically, using mechanical energy; the conductor just moves his hands, and his movements have an effect on the music artistry.

(Choices Poem) Chance
Rejoice for you still have a voice.
A chance to change things.
A chance to make things better or worse.
Be steadfast on the decision you make.
What is it that divides us?
A moral.
A world in upheaval.
A rebel without reason or cause.
The flame will burn out like a candle.
The further down it goes the less time you have to know.
Make your demands now.
Make them very clear.
Do not let them fade or disappear.
Do not let fear take the wheel and steer.
No matter how things appear.
Only what's on the inside can be a deciding factor.
If you knew it was your one and only chance.
What would you do?
Take it or fake it?
Time to choose! ! !

Music begins to be 'manipulated' the moment it is interpreted by a conductor or a soloist and played by an orchestra in a hall with a specific acoustic. All these factors 'manipulate' music and so does the fact that I ask the oboe please to play more piano. And you are manipulating the orchestra for one reason only: to get the sound you want. In the recording studio you are using the equipment at hand for exactly the same reason.

The director is a bit analogous to the conductor of a symphony orchestra. It's a collaborative adventure.

And at the same time, I had my very first concert at the age of 16. I hadn't heard a symphony orchestra before, and I was so deeply impressed I said I have to be a conductor.

Challenges
Who is a thief?
Who is a spy?
Who is your lover?
The deciding factor is like your muse;
But always be ready to take up the challenges of life.

I don't feel that the conductor has real power. The orchestra has the power, and every member of it knows instantaneously if you're just beating time.

The overture
October's orchestra plays softly on
The northern forest with its thousand strings,
And Autumn, the conductor wields anon
The Golden-rod-- The baton that he swings.

On Two Legs
The most dangerous wolf walks on two legs around us,
And like the deciding factor of our lives;
But distinguish from what is right and wrong,
And try to focus on your dreams always.

So, first you have to be able to play with a metronome. Then you take your freedom. If you play in an orchestra, you got to watch the conductor, he is like a metronome, but it is more difficult because he can change rhythms.

The Only Person
Dog, god, bog, hog, log, cog, fog, jog, tog, wog;
But it begins with you and me!
And the only person you can change first is yourself,
For life is all about changes.
The deciding factor,
Base your love on the truth always!
And let the birds fly above the earth;
For the seed-bearing plants and trees are always around us.

Heres The Turning
I sit
The leaves dance around my feet
The wind the great conductor
I untie then tie my shoe again
I try to get a lyric from it
Suddenly the conductor puts to rest
What I was trying to say again and again and again and.
Left to think of the wet streets at night
How brightly they to were lit
As a stray passes, I say to myself,
‘Where are you going? ’
That’s a blank verse.
I start to walk, I can do so naked, the crimes
Are at a low.
I want to be a squatter of a grocery store alley
Then in my head write an ode to my lucid dream

If Truth Was A Factor
If truth was a factor,
There'd be no backup to go after.
If,
Truth was a factor.
If,
Truth was a factor.
And if truth was a factor,
There'd be less sadness and more laughter...
If,
Truth was a factor.
If,
Truth was a factor.
We all would benefit from it!
If,
Truth was a factor.
There'd be no sadness that existed.
