"I thought if I followed the rules, things would turn out all right. that's the thing about the cure, isn't it? It isn't just about deliria at all. It's about order. A path for everyone. You just have to follow it and everything will be okay. That's what the DFA is about. That's what I belevied in-what I've had to believe in. Because otherwise, it's just...chaos."

"Think about Isis, Jaz repeated. "And Sadie, thereis a purpose. You taught us that. We choose to believe in Ma'at. We create order out of chaos, beauty and meaning out of ugly randomness. That's what Egypt is all about. That's why its name, its ren, has endured for millennia. Don't despair. Otherwise Chaos wins."

"I think the solo playing, the decision to start playing solo, came out of having discovered what lay behind the doors that that technique opened for me."

Decision

Quote_1.png
Evan Parker
"Those early steps are very important in understanding the evolution. But in themselves, maybe now you need the later records to understand the significance of the earlier records!"

Evolution

Quote_1.png
Evan Parker
"There are many of these apparent philosophical paradoxes or contradictions which don't concern me anymore."

Concern

Quote_1.png
Evan Parker
"I think the voice does that perfectly adequately without being imitated by other instruments."

Being

Quote_1.png
Evan Parker
"But I think the record will actually come from tapes that are not yet recorded."

Will

Quote_1.png
Evan Parker
"There's an institution here called the National Sound Archive, and there's a character who works there, Paul Wilson. He takes a very special interest in the history of the music and advised Martin Davidson of the existence of these tapes."

History

Quote_1.png
Evan Parker
"Actually John, Paul Rutherford, and Trevor Watts, and several other rather well known English jazz musicians had got their training by joining the Air Force, which was a pretty standard way for people to get some kind of musical education in those days."

Education

Quote_1.png
Evan Parker
"The argument we always used to use was that keeping records in the catalog was good for people that were coming new to the music, but I think that was talking over a ten year or fifteen year time span."

Time

Quote_1.png
Evan Parker
"I think it's a great document of John Stevens' originality. At that time he was already much more fully formed in his conception than I was. I was sort of struggling to keep up, and sometimes it's pretty obvious."

Time

Evan Parker
"I think the whole question of meaning in music is difficult enough even if you hear me playing live right now in the same room! What I mean and what you take from it may be two quite different things anyway."
