I know some of you are thinking "Anyone can do this...", but in the DIY spirit of doing what anyone can do with what anyone can get, and without any special skills or funds, I tackled improvisation head on, using mostly newspapers and cardboard boxes, which turned out to be this triple CD set." - Taku Unami

Soliloquies – Selbstgespräche
Everyone just talked to himself, said the prince, "we are in an age of soliloquy. The art of soliloquy is also a much higher art than the art of conversation," he said. "But talking to yourself is just as pointless as talking," said the prince, "although much less pointless." - Thomas Bernhard
