"To be in exile to be displaced from one’s country of origin and upbringing to be an immigrant —the experience of over 185 million people in the world, on a conservative estimate—is a wrench perhaps comparable in impact to that of war, long-term hunger or imprisonment.
"For me to be in exile, to be an immigrant is like being 'NOISE' in musical context, Like being the 'STAIN' on the 'clean' wall.
"Instead of a person creatively carrying over meanings, across accepted borders of sense, a person is here bodily pushed over borders by forces beyond his or her control.
"In 'NOISE MUSIC' performances aural elements are sprinting toward each other from opposite far ends of the aural space and are colliding in a direct, violent impact. This sound of crashing aural elements is 'NOISE MUSIC.' While sound connotes nothing more than the sense-data of hearing, 'NOISE MUSIC,' from the Latin nausea, suggests an unpleasant disturbance, confusion, or interference baldly lacking any musical quality and that in sociological terms for me is 'EXILE.' The collision of the 'STAIN' of the 'NOISE' with the clean wall is becoming the sunrise of freedom and justice."
