“Natural sounds, other than Stravinsky. Stravinsky was brilliant in all ways. He invited me to come and visit him before he died but I was in the middle of doing Trout Mask and I missed the chance. If I had it to do again I’d have met Stravinsky and not have had Trout Mask come out.”
Captain Beefheart. Likewise. Some of the sounds Stravinksy made, I think I’m thinking of this one sound in particular toward the end of the Finale in Firebird, are just funny and amazing.
