Monica Guggisberg & Philp Baldwin: We have been working together for forty years. There's no distinction really between an idea and its manner of expression. The two are joined at the hip. It's a marriage contract, for better or for worse. Music is made from an instrument, even as the idea flows from the human mind. The quality of the instrument counts, as Stradivarius knew. And while Mozart's notes are the same in 1775 as in 2010, the sound won't be, and its ability to transform and move depends both on individual interpretation and virtuosity of manipulation. Likewise, good writing is as much about craftsmanship and a sense of language as the ideas forming the words into a coherent expression. In our own rather quaint, no doubt very 1960's way (levitating on Robert Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"), this was the whole point of this trajectory, to do something that allowed mind and body to merge in intention. 1955, Bern, Switzerland Philip Baldwin b.
