QUOTE- Yoko Ono

Beginning of Yoko Ono's Snow Piece (Tape piece III):
Take a tape of the sound of the snow falling. This should be done in the evening. Do not listen to the tape. Cut it and use it as strings to tie gifts with. 
Yoke One stated:
 "The only sound that exists to me is the sound of the mind. My works are only to induce music of the mind in people.' ...'There is a wind that never dies.'... 
 The wind is the moving mind, the mind that according to John Cage, 'is part of the air',the mind that is able to transcend 'the falsehood of consciousness' and fly. (Jacqueline Baas, The Sound of the Mind, 2005. Published in Chance, Documents of Contemporary Art, edited by Margaret Iversen, published by The Whitechapel Gallery)
